1. If he ever does anything we don't approve of...

...it'll be "HOW DARE HE!! AFTER ALL WE WENT THROUGH TO GET HIM SEATED!" etc.

[Perky]

3. He Gets 50.00001% of the vote and we demand that he be a Liberal Lion

[depakid]

8. He did take Wellstone's seat

but I guess in your mind, that means nothing- and that he should just sell us all out, like some of his sorry colleagues.

[Cant trust em]

16. Actually he took Coleman's seat.

I understand your point, but things have changed.

[depakid]

26. The only thing that's changed is people's willingness to pander to the right

and helplessly say "but we have to."

Quite frankly, it's pathetic to watch- and makes me feel that Americans actually do- in most respects deserve EXACTLY what they get.

[MNDemNY]

19. Something under 35%, it was a 3-way race.

[Freddie Stubbs]

30. 41.99%

[MNDemNY]

33. I stand corrected.

[skipos]

2. When is his first vote?

Answer that and you have answered your question.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

4. Nah, he might *say* something that people don't like or be accused of saying something ala Kerry.

[Buzz Clik]

5. The very first time his does ANYTHING that can be remotely interpreted as not left:

• He votes for a spending bill
  
• He shows some support for some violence somewhere.
  
• He openly supports Obama.
  
• He openly criticizes Obama.
  
• He refuses to risk his political career for ________. (fill in your favorite fringe issue)

[jobycom]

6. Fuck him! He's already a sellout! He hasn't done a damn thing he's promised yet!!!1

I wanted to be first at something.

[Arkana]

7. When he went to lunch afterward and sat at a table that had a Republican at it,

I personally had already denounced him as a scummy DINO who can't take a stand on anything.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

11. Anything less than walking right up to that Republican and punching him in the face is a disgusting

spineless act of treason. Dems have 60 senators now, Franken!

[grantcart]

9. I saw the prick shake hands Alexander Lamar right after he was sworn in

So he has already betrayed us and this poll is too fucking late.

[Lyric]

10. As soon as he criticizes Obama.

Hey, it worked that way for Olbermann, Maddow, and Helen Thomas. I'm sure Franken will get his turn under the Hopemobile.

*sigh*

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

13. Or agrees with Obama.

Won't take long to get thrown under the sour grapes jalopy.

[Scarsdale Vibe]

31. Which bus has killed more people? The Hopemobile or the Sour Grapes Jalopy?

[boppers]

39. I'm pretty sure they both have the same drivers.

[Cant trust em]

18. What if he criticized Krugman?

For shame.

[Cha]

21. If someone is an idiot..they get criticized..

it's a two way street for that fuckin' bus.

[Ganja Ninja]

12. About as long as it will take for him to wimp out like the rest of the

senate Democrats.

[Pirate Smile]

14. I'd guess less then a week because I already heard Ed Schultz going off on him during his radio show

[SemiCharmedQuark]

15. For what?

[Pirate Smile]

17. I guess he said one of those standard lines about wanting to work across the aisle or

bipartisanship. Ed was going off on him.

[Cant trust em]

20. Why is there always a bus?

If there has to be a bus, I'll throw a person under it at election time.

[styersc]

22. If he's all speeches and no accomplishments, none too soon.

But then again he might have a cadre of syncophants who will suck up to him no matter how vacuous his behavior. You know sort of how the far right reacts towards Sarah Palin, or some on DU act towards.....oh, just forget about it. I'm tired of riding this horse.

[backscatter712]

23. WHERE'S MY PONY, DAMMIT!!! FRANKEN DIDN'T DELIVER!!!11!1one

[Lex]

24. If I don't agree with him, I'll keep my mouth shut

because that's how Democrats roll now?

[lib2DaBone]

25. As soon as he protects people who torture prisoners....

[MrSlayer]

27. Depends on what he does to get himself thrown there.

This is basically a liberal/progressive site and Congress is a corporatist entity, the Senate especially. It's rare that we'll be happy about anything they do.

[PBS Poll-435]

28. Other - Two Years Ago

[Big Orange Jeff]

29. In 5... 4... 3... 2... (eom)

nt

[Chisox08]

32. I'm not voting until I say a today option

Al still hasn't called Reid a wimp publicly

[damntexdem]

34. Never, if DUers have any sense.

The author of 'Rush Limbaugh is a Big, Fat Idiot' sure knows how to strike back. ;-)

[jberryhill]

35. He's been a do-nothing Senator since January

Absent for most of the year - what a lame Senator.

He should resign, since he's just going to milk the rest of his term as a lame duck.

[Peacetrain]

36. a week at the outside

[PopSixSquish]

37. Tomorrow at 3:47pm EST

for something quoted completely out of context...

[burning rain]

38. People will probably have enough patience to wait...

until he's cast a vote.
