Caligula made his horse a Roman senator.

We’ve sunk even lower than that with horse’s ass in the US Senate.

Why doesn’t Michelle run for this seat?

After winning election

After winning? It was another stolen election and the Damn Stupid Party let him steal it. Just enough ballots found in car trunks??????? I'm disgusted when I see that unfunny pig on any tv screen.

[TurboZamboni]

I wish Jason Lewis would run against Weird Al.

[Psalm 144]

We need a second party.

Knowing Franken cheated (finding uncounted ballots in boxes in someone’s car trunk??????) his way into the seat in 2008 must be a bit daunting to anyone thinking about putting boatloads of time, energy and money into a challenge. If it could be assured there would be a clean election, I suspect Republicans/Conservatives would be lining up to run for that seat!

The election’s two years off. Coleman is worhtless anyway and would have lost. Pawlenty, Bachmann, one of the new legislators could be the potenial nominee. Kurt Bills, who just lost to Klobuchar could run again. Franken is no heavyweight. Minnesota has very strange voting patterns. They elected Humphrey and Mondale to be sure, but they also elected Rudy Boschwicz.

People's Republik of Minnesota:

Я считаю, что совершенно неважно, кто и как будет в партии голосовать; но вот что чрезвычайно важно, это - кто и как будет считать голоса.

I consider it completely unimportant who in the party will vote, or how; but what is extraordinarily important is this—who will count the votes, and how.

---Joseph Stalin, 1923, as quoted in The Memoirs of Stalin's Former Secretary (1992) by Boris Bazhanov [Saint Petersburg] (Борис Бажанов. Воспоминания бывшего секретаря Сталина).

AF is such a certified clown and public embarrassment nobody in Minn wants to bring attention to him even if it means he wins reelection...

...as long as he wins like he has served—nobody knows he exists and we don't want anybody to know that he does...
...and we certainly don't wish for anybody to know he existed here...

...he is the crazy uncle in the closet—vote with Reid, speechify sometimes, tell everyone something they will give five minutes attention like “Hey I am here and I matter!” then let the toad retreat to his slime irrelevance untill Minn gets the sense God gives a Banana Slug.

[longfellow]

OK the best scenario I can come up with is that we are just going to wait for the revolution and we plan on killing all the traitors that’s why we are not wasting time running someone against this SNLPOS.

[C210N]

unless Franken makes a fool out of himself...

He hasn't already?

[ScottinVA]

How about Tim Pawlenty? He has the charisma of a gray brick, but he’d be an improvement.

[a fool in paradise]

Norm Coleman, who lost the seat by 312 votes in 2008

He didn't lose the election. He lost the court battles.

Franken's was one of several "selected not elected" Senate seats Obama needed to push Obamacare through without debate. Dead Red Ted Kennedy's seat was another one.

[Paladin2]

We’re over the cliff.

[RIghtwardHo]

Wow. Seriously?

[subterfuge]

Al Franken going unchallenged in MN?

Oh, the boor Al Franken is PLENTY challenged. MENTALLY Challenged!

Who has the pic of him wearing a diaper?
