When it comes to money in politics, U.S. Sen. Al Franken often complains that there is just too much of it.
But when Franken called the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision that opened the door for corporations, unions and individuals to spend unlimited amounts on candidates a "disaster" earlier this month, his impassioned Senate floor speech disguised a central fact of his campaign, and that of his Republican opponent, businessman Mike McFadden.

Considering Franken was the 60th Obamacare vote and the Senator that stole the seat from Coleman who was outmaneuvered by Soro's Sec of State initiative, it would be beyond delicious to see this sorry jackwagon Msr Franken get his sorry @$$ handed to him....
He’s not getting outside help from national groups.
Either is Jeff Johnson.(Unless you think Chris Christie coming is helpful.)
