Franken said he probably would not take political action committee money but also would not put any of his own into a race. Real dedication to his "principles".....

He's probably the only candidate who could lose to Skip Humphrey...

I would love to see Franken run. It would be such an exercise in humiliation. The guy can't speak on the radio, can you IMAGINE the debate, and the first time he punched out someone???? Great TV.

I'm assuming Franken is willing to run for the Senate seat just to get out of his commitment to work on Air America. Seriously, he can't just quit. He needs to have a 'higher calling'. A run for the Senate is his ticket off that loser program!

MediA Matters for America, or MAMA for short!

No, Al. Capitol hill is enough of a comedy without your silly ass up there.

Hillary to Franken: " Okay, next on the list is Things To Hide. We will be discussing serious issues such as hiding bodies, hiding weapons, stealing and hiding FBI files/Vince Foster files, hiding your true feelings, hiding your obvious lies with cackling laughter, but most importantly is how to hide your sexuality. Al I want you to visualize Pat from SNL."

The only holdout, he said, is his 19-year-old son, Joe, who is worried he'll see less of his father. In Joe's case, this is considered a good thing.

Ugh...why does this man think he has enough brains for the Senate? He couldn't even do the one thing he was supposed to be best at: making people laugh!

Do it. Couldn’t be a less likeable man in America, plus he has exactly zero experience in any political or business related field. He’ll lock up the uber-liberal, venom-filled, 30% of the vote, and garner not a single independent or moderate Dem.
So true. I double-dog-dare him to do it.

No, absolutely nothing like Jesse Ventura.
Ventura was a decorated Vietnam Veteran (though he didn’t bring it up in every speech). He was a popular entertainer, who didn’t alienate large portions of the electorate with baseless emotional screeds. Any onscreen altercations he had were staged and done in a spirit of fun. His political opinions were mostly in line with a large majority of the electorate, both in Minnesota and nationally. He was a very likeable and straight-talking personality. He also served as mayor of one of Minnesota’s largest cities for four years.
In fact, you’d be hard pressed to find an example of somebody less like Jesse Ventura than Al Franken.
