I think Franken will make a good senator. The reason righties get all bent out of shape over him is the books he wrote poking holes in talk radio blowhards. I can admire a quick wit and biting sense of humor regardless of political bent but so few conservative leading figures have that. They tend to be just bitter and nasty with little sense of humor. Franken is actually quite well informed on political matters and much better than Coleman who we referred to as Senator Windsock as he had no convictions he would not change or sell out for political expediency. It's a nice change to have someone other than a lawyer in higher office. I know these guys, have followed their careers, and have been their constituent so I have a bit more real life insight than most.
