Democratic U.S. Senate hopeful Al Franken is in a very good position after the vast majority of delegates selected to the state DFL convention were Franken supporters. According to a completely unscientific poll done by the Franken campaign, he carried about 3000 votes, compared to two of his competitors who both barely eclipsed 600.
Franken, a former SNL actor and host of his own Air America talk show, is running against Republican Sen. Norm Coleman in the 2008 election. Franken has to be excited about the democratic turnout in the Minnesota primary earlier this week. If the Democratic Presidential nominee is Barack Obama, Franken is almost a shoe-in for the seat, assuming turnout remains high.
First Jesse, now Franken... only in Minnesota.
