Reply #43: Yep, I was always disappointed...

in how little mention Franken would make of Wes during the primaries....

I don't know why but after he and Wes appeared at the cheapo late night get together held after the very pricey dinner (which all candidates attended) held after that primary debate in NYC shortly after Wes joined the race (And I'll never forget that NO other candidate deigned to show...not John "I'm always thinking of the little people" Edwards or even my beloved Dennis who still lives in the little blue house...No one else could be bothered to hang with us "poor folk" but Wes and Gert...) I just thought he'd at least talk about him as a serious candidate some....

Al did seem to be really pushing him to run today...I was a bit surprised as I always think of him as a Kerry guy...Whatever was going on, it was nice to hear.
