I'm a huge Franken fan and I don't see myself letting go of that either. But I do like that she has had a very liberal voting record in the Senate and that she openly talks about making her campaign about gender. Given what happened to HRC, thats an issue that obviously needs to be addressed head on. The Franken thing is real baggage for me, but I will listen to her... it's all hands on deck.
