Well, maybe I'm getting ahead of my self. Little things like the primary and general elections haven't happened yet.

FWIW, a flash poll released yesterday showed Mike Ciresi with a 20-point lead over Franken for the Democratic nomination (Ciresi lost to Mark Dayton in the 2000 primary) and others might still enter the race. Ciresi is a big-name local lawyer with moneyed connections but Franken is quite popular among the progressive "Wellstone" part of the DFL party here.

You elected a wrestler. At least Franken has studied the issues over the years.

Your old music cannot sustain you through a life, not if you're someone who listens to music every day, at every opportunity. You need input, because pop music is about freshness, about Nelly Furtado and the maddeningly memorable fourth track on a first album by a band you saw on a late-night TV show. And no, that fourth track is not as good as anything on Pet Sounds or Blonde on Blonde or What's Going On, but when was the last time you played Pet Sounds? - Songbook by Nick Hornby

"Franken raised $1.3 million in first quarter"

Not bad at all.

Ciresi drpped out of the race yesterday so it looks more likely that Franken will win the DFL party endorsement. But FWIW, Jack Nelson-Pallmeyer does have a lot of support among party activists, so it's by no means a done deal.
