Nothing personal against Amy K but the MN Senator that should be running is our Al Franken

I know, shut up Jody....but damn he was/is good. What a sad episode that was and it is all on us.

But it would eliminate one drawback to having Amy, Elizabeth, Kamalah, Cory, Sherrod, or Merkley run: if any of them were to win, the Senate would have one fewer great senators.

2. Many many people agree with you!

Including me.

3. Maybe he doesn't want to.

4. ???

you are taking this too literally...I don't know him or speak to him..this is my musing, in a sad nostalgic way...that is all..

15. I was thinking the same thing, and maybe he never would have wanted to.

There are enough potential and actual candidates to sort out with introducing "strawman" candidates. If Franken brings it up, then it would be worth the debate, otherwise whats the purpose.

5. He'd be my top pick

7. I think he was planning to when he wrote his book

The book told of many issues when he was on SNL thereby getting ahead of criticisms when he ever did run.

Lots of idiocy and fun and admissions of drug use when in that venue. His political awareness revved up as he came to know Wellstone and Wellstone's death propelled him into action.

No mention of inappropriate sex matters at all.

So those charges came out of the blue. I will never "get over" KG's leading role in denying him the due process he requested.

As I read his book, I had the strong feeling he planned to run for Pres. sometime in the future.

I wish he would reenter politics with a radio show like his Air America one.

8. I agree.

9. Don't shut up! I agree! n/t

[aidbo]

10. He's free to run if he wants to.

[jodymarie aimee]

11. you really think he wants to ask for support

from colleagues who stabbed him in the back...this is a brilliant and proud man.

12. Boo Yah,

Franken gave us Mueller.

[Mme. Defarge]

13. It has occurred to me that the real motive

behind the crusade to get Senator Franken to resign was to take out a possible rival candidate for the presidency. One of the many reasons I like Senator Klobuchar as a presidential candidate is the fact that she did not jump on the bandwagon demanding his resignation.

14. He Q.U.I.T

So...no.

16. Here we go again.
