I guess Coleman isn't that popular, but Franken is a comedian!!! What are the people thinking???
Didn't their experience with Jesse Ventura teach them anything?
Is Al coming across as a serious candidate?
What is going on in the cold north?

Don't bash the OP to much I think he just came to the conclusion that the democrats are going to have 60+ seats until 2012.

1. I changed my mind about the Obama lawsuit once I learned there was a birth announcement in the local paper.
2. I don't question a comedian being elected, I was asking how the race is going and how it is being run.
3. Reagan was a national figure for years before becoming governor.
4. If Palin is an idiot then we should only elect idiots to office because she is the MOST popular governor in the country!!! Number 1!!! Last year she had an 89% approval rating, almost 10 points higher than second place. (The guy she replaced had a 29% rating)
5. The 2000 recounts violated the 14th amendment. The Supreme Court ruled 7-2 on this issue, it wasn't even close.

Minnesota loves to cling to the "new and trendy" stuff. Sadly, they are years behind the wave of the rest of the country. Keep in mind, they also voted for "Jesse" and got him into office. Additionally, when your brain is literally frozen for half the year due to the climate, you tend to behave abnormally.
Sadly, I had to live in that state for 18 years. They love to buy into the news of "new and improved" probably more than any other state.Originally posted by: feralkid
What is this "wave" of the rest of the country?
Oh, you must mean kicking out incompetent Republicans; Minnesota is right in step with that "New and Trendy" wave, thank you very much.
Face it, you have no idea what you're talking about.
Worse, you don't let that fact get in the way of making an ass out of yourself.

National figure? Not politically (though his acting gave him national exposure).
The television program was broadcast every Sunday evening at 9:00pm, EST, beginning February 1, 1953 and ending May 27, 1962. Each of the 200 television episodes was an adaptation of a novel, short story, play, film or magazine fiction.
Ronald Reagan became the show's only host on September 26, 1954. GE added a host to provide continuity, which was absent due to its anthology format. After four months, the show reached the Top Ten in the Nielsen Ratings. It also regularly outrated I Love Lucy in the 9:00-9:30pm time slot.
The show made Reagan wealthy and famous: wealthy, due to his part ownership of the show, and famous, due not only to its ratings, but to his constant touring to promote the show. After eight years as host, Reagan estimated he had visited 135 GE research and manufacturing facilities, and met over a quarter-million people. During that time he would also speak at other forums such as Rotary clubs and Moose lodges, presenting views on economic progress that in form and content were often similar to what he said in introductions, segues and closing comments on the show as a spokesman for GE.

The guy wrote a book called "Rush Limbaugh is a big fat idiot" and you wonder why some people don't take him seriously as a candidate?

If you're going to criticize a man running for office do so on his policies and whether or not you think he's competent to do the job.
Criticizing him because he was once an actor, comedian, or associated with Hollywood is stupid.

Lots of people I know feel the same way. The only ones who like either are the hardcore party supporters. I will probably just vote for Dean Barkley in protest I am hoping lots of other people do also.Originally posted by: Auryg
Coleman is a standard lying sneaky politician. Franken is an idiot.
What a choice us Minnesotans have this year =/

Something else everyone should think of here...
Coleman is the very epitamy of what a flip-flop is!
Coleman is a former Democrat who co-chaired President Clinton's 1996 re-election campaign in Minnesota, and voted with President Bush 98 percent of the time (according to ratings by Congressional Quarterly).

Reagan was also governor of California from 1967?1975. Be fair to the man.
A job he got with exactly the same experience Franken has.
Franken has NO experience of value. Doesn't mean he will be a total failure though, but to compare him to Reagan is a little off.
