3. This is wonderful news!

Al is a great Democrat and we need him in the Senate. He's a very funny man, too.

5. Makes me want to move to Minnesota. Wish he'd run for President, but I guess not.

He may not have national appeal in that way. I don't know. But I'd vote for him in a heartbeat.

6. Go Al!
