Al Franken predicts 56-60 Democatic Senators after next election.

[Eric J in MN]

He said that currently the Democrats only have a majority by "the skin of Joe Lieberman's teeth" but that will change.

He also predicts a Democratic president and a bigger majority in the House from the 2008 election.

Franken was interviewed tonight on "Air America Minnesota" radio's "The Mark Heaney Show."

1. I loves me some Al Franken

[ck4829]

2. And hopefully he'll be one of those Senators.

5. Something that makes me laugh - imagining O'Reilly after Al wins and is a Senator.

:rofl: :spray: :party:

[whistle]

3. That would be very good but 67 hard line Democrats would be perfect

...of course an across the board democratic sweep in the House of Representatives and in the White House would really clinch a reversal and salvation for the country and the world. Also, it would be great to win democratic majorities in State governments as well

4. I think he is underestimating

I predict AT LEAST 60.

6. I think '08 is going to be a slaughter for the Pukes. We're going to annihilate them. 2008 = 1932

The Dem candidate will get at least 55% of the popular vote and we will get 60 senators or very close to that number.

Time to get ready to get sent into the political wilderness, Pukes!

Oh, and I'll love having Franken as my Senator!
