How Many Would Support Al Franken for president?

98. I think you're taking comments personally when that wasn't my intent at all.

There are limitations to communication in writing.

I like Al, but I know he's not running. I like EW too, and I know she's not running either. As for her association with private defense contractors in MA, every one of her brothers served in the military, she's a strong advocate for the Defense Department, and she knows that defense industry in MA means J-O-B-S. She's even come down on the side of keeping an unneeded defense program to protect jobs in the state, and done so unapologetically.

Senators, first and foremost, have to represent the citizens of their state, and put their needs first. That may mean that the person representing Montana isn't "liberal' enough for New York or California, but at the end of the day, too doggone bad--Montana isn't those states.

DU as an entity has a bad habit of crafting cartoonish visions of politicians and throwing good political babies out with the bathwater. In actual fact, most of them have good points and bad--they're human.
