That person perhaps was too polite to say that he was lost and needed to ask for direction.

Too bad Matt Drudge can't hit back. His momma raised him right and told him never to hit a lady. Well Franken isn't really a lady so I suppose their are always exceptions for mean ugly sluts.

Find the laughs where you can. Still half the US population hates our history, our values and our economic system and is hard at work to destroy them.

Nope. About 10% does. Another 1/3 are just sheep who “vote Democrat because dad was a Democrat”.

There is a reason Al Franken is 15 points behind here in dark blue Minnesota. There is a reason the Oessiah cannot get over about 45% in any national poll. Their strident “Hate America” posturing is the dying squeal of the old politics of the 1960s generation.

Should have at least advertised it as a stand-up act. At least eight drunks would have showed up to puke under the tables and laugh at inappropriate times.

‘Course, with Franken, all times are inappropriate times...

From the comments section:

HOW TO START EACH DAY WITH A POSITIVE OUTLOOK

1. Open a new file in your computer.
2. Name it ‘Barack Obama’.
3. Send it to the Recycle Bin.
4. Empty the Recycle Bin.
5. Your PC will ask you: ‘Do you really want to get rid of ‘Barack Obama?’
6. Firmly Click ‘Yes.’
7. Feel better?

Did you hear his lame commercials lately on KTLK where the voice over makes the idiotic claim that Franken has been workin’ hard for workin’ families all over Minnesota. I’d like to know just where he’s done any work on my behalf in Minnesota - or anywhere else for that matter.

One thing you can say for this putz, he’s got chutzpa.

You replied: "nope"

Another sign of his campaigns grotesque incompetence.The people who listen to KTLK are not going to be a Franken friendly venue. Pretty tough to convince people to change then mind in a 30 second or 1 minute ad when they tune in day after day specifically to listen for hours to talk show hosts fundamentally opposed to Al Franken’s sort of rabid elitest progressive socialist ideology.

Rasmussen only has Franken a point behind Coleman—43 to 44.

Rass is completely at odds with all the other polling. So you can believe one poll or average them. Averaging them you get Coleman up 8-15 points. Give Franken's punk bitch campaigning style, that is far more likely in Minnesota. People are not buying his snarly nasty New York street style punk campaign. That sort of campaigning doesn't sell to the voters here in Minnesota, never has.

Dems there must be feeling plenty of buyer’s remorse. This is a Senate seat they might have been able to pick up. I hope they don’t do a Torricelli and replace Franken with someone else when they know he can’t win.
