3. I'm glad, however it was never much in doubt.

Franken was consistently ahead in polling all along. It was apparently tightening up near the end, but it didn't seem too worrisome.

He's my Senator - so I'm very happy that he will continue to be.

4. HAPPY DANCE!~

I think all my picks have either won or will win. It's not a terrible night for me.

9. Pretty predictable. Great Senator. Great guy. Love him.

I didn't contribute one penny to his campaign this time, however. I knew he was going to be re-elected no matter what.
