DFL Senate candidate Al Franken says he's raised $1.89 million in the third quarter of the year, just a shade under his impressive total from the previous quarter.

Franken says he finished the period that ended Sept. 30 with $2.45 million in the bank.

Franken is one of several Democrats seeking to unseat Sen. Norm Coleman, a Minnesota Republican. None of other candidates has released third-quarter numbers. The filing deadline is October 15.

Yay, Al!!!

1. Isn't that more than Kucinich raised?

[ProudDad]

2. How gratuitously provocative of you...

Al's gotten a HELL of a lot more media coverage than Dennis K...

Al would probably agree 100% with Kucinich's positions...

[Tempest]

3. Of course Franken's gotten more coverage

He's a serious candidate.

6. I agree with 100% of Kucinich's postions.

He's simply a horrible candidate.

4. Better a politician who's a comedian than one who's just a joke... n/t

5. Keep your eye on Minnesota. The Repugs are going to go all out to keep Normie in the Senate.

Swiftboating Al will be just the beginning. Normie's tap-dancing furiously to seem "balanced" and "middle of the road" because he knows there are lots of very pissed folks in his state. The position of his lips on *'s ass has remained unmoved.

9. Good point

I just hope that the good citizens of MN remember how Norm has sold them down the river...time and time again!

[Mister Ed]

10. Swiftboating Norm's opponent won't be enough to salvage his prospects.

Coleman owes his senate seat to a tragic aircraft accident. That's all. He knows it, and we Minnesotans know it. In '08, the only thing to crash and burn will be Norm's political ambitions.

11. Tap dancing or TOE TAPPING? n/t

7. huh

:(

8. How is Franken doing in the polls? Are there any other serious Dem challengers?

inquiring minds want to know!

12. I donated and so should all DUers. Can you imagine O'Reilly's rant after Franken wins?

That win will be sweet.

13. Not only did Al Franken knock out Bill O'Reilly, but George Galloway

made a complete fool out of Norm Coleman.
