4. I watched that Letterman episode
I can't believe how great his 4th grade teacher looks. What a sweeheart!

My favorite part was the letter/e-mail that another student of hers sent her through the Franken campaign. About how she inspired her to be a teacher too because the teacher showed her how much she mattered. Al's teacher saw this student had an interest in art and gave her some extra encouragement. It was really a very sweet story.


:applause:

6. Yeah, he's a good guy, but he's not what we need in Minnesota
I've voting for Jack Nelson-Pallmeyer!! :patriot:

7. If you send him to Washington, he'll be in Minnesota less.
In case you couldn't figure that out yourself.
