		<description>With a hand recount the &quot;will of the voter&quot; or his/her intentions should be the rule and if that is the case then Franken might have the advantage. After all it should be whoever gets the most votes. Even if that jerk Coleman does win.</description>

		<description>I think he&#039;d be a great senator.  D.C.  needs more humor.  The only problem is that he said he was cautiously optimistic, which he said in his book &quot;The Truth, With Jokes&quot; is an optimist&#039;s way of saying &quot;We&#039;re screwed&quot;.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s pretty funny to see how the GOP likes seeing a clown not concede the election.  At least Franken&#039;s good at being a clown.  Bush is only good at screwing up.</description>

		<description>All of you morons (not maroons Desert Storm Vet- where did you learn to spell?) who deride Al Franken because he&#039;s a comedian (and you didn&#039;t get his jokes) probably never read his books, or listened to him on Air America Radio, where he was a talk show host.  I&#039;m sure you were too busy tuning in to Rush and Ann (adam&#039;s apple) Coulter and all those other lying liars.  Al Franken is highly intelligent, has a great sense of humor and speaks the truth to power.  Lots of us are sick and tired of Republicans ruling with fear and lies (and not much humor, by the way)</description>

		<description>Admittedly, I do not know enough about Al Franken to comment.

That being said, the thought of the Dems having a 60-seat filibuster-proof majority just makes me giddy...the cherry on top of one helluva November ice cream sundae.

On second thought, Franken is a great politician.  GO AL!!!!</description>

		<description>Not a big fan of Franken until &quot;Rush Limbaugh is a Big, Fat Idiot&quot; and &quot;Lying Liars&quot;, which are both spot on.  Sarcasm would be a much-needed addition to the Democrats&#039; message.  It&#039;s a shame Franken wasn&#039;t in the Senate to ridicule Duhbya and Darth.</description>

&quot;This country was the best it has ever been with Bill Clinton as the President.&quot;

So, the President who can&#039;t keep it in his pants was a better President than the man who ended slavery or the man that brought our country out of the depression?  There are probably 30 other Presidents that were better than Bubba.</description>

		<description>The difference between Al Franken and George Bush is that no one ever died from one of Franken&#039;s jokes.

I used to listen occasionally to Franken on his Air America show. Despite his occasional lame jokes, he is really a pretty sharp guy with a good understanding of the issues. I think  he&#039;ll do a fine job as a Senator.</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t know if, after watching him on Saturday Night Live for years, if I can actually take him seriously as a Senator...however, his IS a brilliant man and if an ex Pro-Wrestler can be Governor, all is well on the political scene with Franken as senator.</description>

		<description>It would be a shame to have Norm elected and then get booted out for illegal activities.  Hopefully, the recount will be the end of Norm&#039;s political career.</description>

		<description>Al Franken is a comedian, but he&#039;s a well-informed comedian.  George Bush is a President and an ex-Governor, but an ill-informed one. If Ronald Reagan, an actor, can become a President, why not a comedian just for the Senate?</description>

		<description>I wanted say something about how suggesting that Mr. Franken is an idiot is also to insult the many, many people who supported him with their ballot, and that it was strange that so many would think to support a &quot;joke&quot; for a high office. Then, I remembered that we as a country elected the 43rd president, twice...and maybe it would be okay to insult vast scores of fellow American citizens because they choose poorly. Also, I began thinking about how if Franken is such a joke, Senator Coleman must be an even bigger joke to have had to fight as he did to keep (maybe keep?) his office.</description>

		<description>What&#039;s wrong with having a accomplished comedian and writer for Senate?  Better than having a second-rate actor as President.

Franken is smarter and more capable than 99% of Congress folk, and he&#039;s not a womanizer or hypocrite like most of Congress.</description>

		<description>That is all we need in Washington, another $170,000 a year plus lobbying money politician.
History states that the Greeks actually out lawed &quot;Democracy&quot; because it facilitates political favors. Corrupted Lobbyists with grey money control government political actions. Besides; we are a Republic, a Republic cannot be a Democracy - it is ruled by Congressional Representatives.

If Al Franken makes it as a US Senator, than truly all hope is gone.

I dunno. I kinda liked him in &quot;Trading Places.&quot;</description>
