Live from MN, it's Al Franken for Senate!

Ok, so this "news" is actually from yesterday, but it's still relevant given it's Congress. Norm Coleman, who was a Democrat, sort of flip-flopped parties because of the Democratic Party's stances abortion and other social issues when he ran for Governor as a Republican, only to lose to Jesse "the Body" Ventura in the general. Anyway...Al Franken, hopefully everyone recognizes the name, has now declared his intentions to run for the Democratic nomination. Spatially, Norm Coleman is much closer to the center than Franken out in left field (speaking of baseball, Brewers pitchers and catchers report on the 17th YEA!). However, it looks as though Democrats in MN are gaining traction statewide and it should be an interesting race.
