At this point in 2008, Al Franken was trailing by 10 points. This is still winnable, especially if Mike McFadden opens his own wallet.
This clown is up 10? MN must be a lost cause.
Well, he cheated before .. you were expecting something different ..????????????????
Tightening up, sweep them all out of the senate.
Repeat after me.
YOU CAN’T FIX STUPID.
Harry Reid will DIE being the Senate Majority Leader.
All hope is lost.
“After winning his 2008 election to the U.S. Senate by the narrowest of margins, Sen. Al Franken starts his 2014 general election campaign with a nine-point lead over Republican challenger Mike McFadden.”
Not surprising. Franken’s an incumbent now, with all the benefits that brings. And it’s pretty clear that Minnesota is more blue than red.
Still, 9 points is not necessarily an insurmountable lead, and Minnesota is not Massachusetts. If the GOP candidate is sharp and runs a good campaign, this one might turn into a nail-biter.
At least until the mysterious discovery of lost and “improperly rejected” ballots start turning up on Franken’s behalf.
*sigh*
McFadden needs to get serious in a hurry. Every one of his ads are lame attempts at humor. They are embarrassing and painful to watch. I have to turn the channel.
People in MN couldn’t live without Franken. He is so funny to them.
Not sure if this is the same poll they where talking about on Up and at um (am 1130) the other day..
Get deeper in to the poll and it does not look so good. indy’s are going for Mike..
Mike needs to hammer home the fact that Al is Obama’s butt boy. The same poll shows 52% Disapprove of Obama’s job performance.. Also Mike needs to tie him to Obamacare/MNSure as it’s polling badly as well (48% Disapprove) He gets that accomplished and Al is toast.
