Franken Announces His Candidacy
Today Al Franken announced his decision to seek the Democratic nomination for the Senate seat currently held by Norm Coleman (R-MN).
Following in the footsteps of victorious Democrats from the 2006 cycle (including Senator Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota), Franken is prioritizing middle class economic security as a campaign issue. His announcement video is an eloquent explanation of why that constellation of issues is so important to him.

I've listened to him on the radio, and I've read one of his books. If I lived in Minnesota, I'd vote for him.
