Woot! Al Franken leading Norm Coleman in Minnesota!! (from tpmelectioncentral.com

Poll: Al Franken Ahead In Minnesota Senate Race!

By Eric Kleefeld - February 1, 2008, 10:30AM


We're taking a step back from our focus on presidential race coverage to bring this piece of news: For the first time ever, Al Franken is ahead of Sen. Norm Coleman (R-MN) in an opinion poll.

The survey conducted by the University of Minnesota puts Franken at 43% to Coleman's 40%, hardly a good sign for the incumbent. Previous polls all gave Coleman the lead, initially a wide one when Franken declared, but eventually a much narrower one.

5. Norm Coleman reminds me of that kid from a Christmas Story
That gets his tongue stuck to the flag pole.

He's one of the neighborhood bullies and dumber than a rock.

12. Normie is dumber than a rock,
but the kid who sticks his tongue to the flag pole in "Christmas Story" is one of Ralphie's friends, not the bully.

Normie, however, could be seen as the bully's toadie.

8. With all the repugs resigning.....
maybe Coleman will see the writing on the wall and get his ass off the stage too.
