As one who listened to Al Franken's show let me tell you he will be a great Senator

[Hokie]

Franken gets knocked around, even by some on the left, as just a funny guy or a clown who will provide nothing but good entertainment in the Senate. I think he has a real passion to serve and a good grasp of the issues. I listened to his show a lot and he is intelligent and has a great grasp of the issues. I especially liked his last hour Friday that was usually devoted to Joe Conason and Al talking about the major issues of the week.

Norm Coleman should concede. He will do great damage to his own party and to a lot of well meaning hard working people by contesting the results now and making his state a laughing stock. The recount was fair and open. He should accept the results and move on to handling his coming legal difficulties.
