The comedian-turned-senator is running an unusually low-key reelection campaign, trying to avoid scrutiny. Will Republicans get the last laugh?
In reality, polls from both parties show Franken with only a tenuous advantage over his challenger, Republican businessman Mike McFadden. President Obama's job-approval numbers are weak in Minnesota, with a Suffolk University poll conducted in April revealing a 43 percent rating. The same survey shows Franken polling at 44 percent against McFadden, with his net favorability at 46 percent/41 percent. (A robo-poll, conducted this week by SurveyUSA, showed Franken up 51 percent to 42 percent, with a 56 percent approval rating.) But unlike other Democratic senators in swing states, Franken hasn't done anything, even symbolically, to distance himself from the unpopular president. A National Journal vote analysis conducted this month showed that, in the past two years, Franken has cast only two votes against party leadership out of 161—a 99 percent record that beats Sen. Elizabeth Warren.

maybe he soiled his diaper..
The rule of thumb is that if the incumbent is that far below 50% he's screwed, because most of the undecideds will break for the challenger in the election.
If true, we may be rid of this odious troll once & for all.
He looks more appropriate in a diaper than in the Senator’s suit.
Al Franken.....the fake dog poop in the world of comedy.
Is Mr. McFadden planning to campaign, or is he going to phone it in like Romney?
He’s a real dumb ass who appealed to real dumb asses. This time around maybe not so much.
I just dropped a nickle on McFadden.
McFadden needs to run ads that say Franken votes with Obama 99% of the time, then throw in immigration, gun control, the debt, etc. to splinter off fence-sitters.
“Finding Al Franken”
I’ll bet he’s lost in the bathroom again. They should try looking by the hand dryer. He thinks it’s a toaster.
Franken 's needed votes are safely stored in the trunk of a car.
I’m sure our S.O.S can help him when the time comes, he’s is good at that.
Al Franked was comedian - who knew!
I mean, I used to go the restroom and get a snack when his sketches were on SNL. Never found them at all funny!
Uh...you might want to re-write that.
The senator is busy changing his diapers...that’s why he isn’t seen much. What has this fool accomplished of value? Mainly, he has kept one seat warm in the senate. What an embarrassment.
Oops. LOL!! Yeah, that wasn’t a well thought out response now, was it. :-)
I would submit that Al Franken and Obama et al, routinely do exactly what you suggested.
He already has. McFadden is advertising and his earlier commercials did a good job getting his name out there.
In Minnesota most of those are pluses.
