Any clue on how Al Franken is doing in polls?
Watching Norm Colman on C-SPAN now and wondering if he is shitting his pants yet.

2. From last Weeks Wall St Journal article on Franken
In a July poll, market researcher SurveyUSA reported that Mr. Coleman led Mr. Franken by just seven percentage points, down from 22 points five months earlier.

Mr. Coleman attributes his declining poll numbers to voter "cynicism and frustration" and defends his support for the war as doing "what I think is right." He defends his ties to the president by insisting that "those relationships benefit Minnesota," citing as an example the quick federal commitment to rebuild the Minneapolis bridge that collapsed in August.

Mr. Franken isn't in for an easy race, though. His chief rival for the Democratic nomination, Michael Ciresi, did just as well in a two-way SurveyUSA match-up with Mr. Coleman.

3. Wouldn't bother me on little bit if Minnesota voters ousted ol' Norm.
That's Mr. Wellstone's chair and Norm Coleman shouldn't be sitting in it.
