      <![CDATA[I'd just like to say that as a regular listener to his Radio show on Air America--the only show on that network that I found enjoyable--Franken came across as informed, nuanced, thoughtful and caring about the subjects he covered.  Often people denegrate humor and underestimate its power, but I think that Franken may well be able, if given the opportunity, will be able to bring something to the Senate that we don't typically see in this country.  A well placed satyrical remark, as evidenced by the impact of the Daily Show, can reframe an issue in a way that more common forms of Washington rhetoric fail to do.  If Franken manages to pull out a win, I, for one, will be closely following whatever committees he is on.

      <![CDATA[Franken will win. For some reason it's well accepted that Democrats submit ballots with crossouts and conflicted markings way more than Republicans.<br />
<br />
The rules in MN are great and make the most sense.  <br />
<br />
Meanwhile it's Richardson for secretary of commerce and Geithner for treasury.<br />
<br />
So that's Obama Biden Clinton Holden Geithner Richardson and Napolitano.<br />
<br />
Plus they are saying Summers (Sumners) will be some kind of adviser.<br />
<br />
Too bad Obama sin't going to GA personally, that race is only 3 points apart.  Billdawg and Gore went.  <br />
<br />
But the number 60 is not so magic anyway.  There are a few Republicans who will likely vote with the Democrats on all the cloture type stuff (a vote merely to allow a  bill to be voted on) like the Maine senators Specter, etc. <br />
<br />
So, looking good that Obama will be able to move the Senate on most things.<br />
<br />
Unity.
