Do they see Coleman as Minnesotan?
Gee. Thanks.
I’d hold out until they exempt you from the lutefisk…
Its a myth, just one of those stories they tell people to keep them from moving here. I mean, come on…fish cured in lye? Get real. Not even Norwegians will eat that!
I personally don’t see as him as one. It’s the figgin accent. Boston accent in Sven/Ollie land? However I’ve met several people who’ve thought the same of Franken. Coleman camp could brand him as a carpetbagger. It’s Frankens inexperience that will hurt him in the primaries. Up against candidates like Ford Bell, Collin Peterson (bluedog democrat), and 3(?) term McCollum, hes got a hell of a battle for the nomination.
I wonder if he’s more interested in the bully pulpit of the senate much more than anything to do with Minnesota. He hasn’t exactly been seen hanging around Mancini’s, First Avenue, or the Crystal Court in, like, ever. He’s most certainly not “one of us.”
And, just for the hell of it, and pertinent to completely nothing, I give you
Don’t take that tone with me, young man…
I did want to ask you earlier about your comment regarding tactics and idealism, do you think Franken is going to run because of idealism? I’m just not seeing that, could you elaborate, please?
Don’t think he’s in it for the money, if I had his money, I’d throw mine away. And if he’s doing it to meet hot chiquitas, that counts as idealism, in my book.
But Garrison Keillor will endorse him wholeheartedly, you betcha! 
It’s a gas, gas, gas! 
How about the kudos, the fame, the bragging rights, the reinforcement of his apparent (ahem) superiority?
Plus everyone knows the Repukes have way hotter chicks. Well, at least they shave.
Yeah, but you’d have to gag them first. Because if they start talking…
You guys are *soooo * headed for a long talk about The Relationship…
Nah. My squeeze only shaves his face and we’re fine with that… 
You mean, you guys don’t have to suffer the agony of The Talk? How come you don’t mention this in your recruiting materials?
Because then the FTC would require us to also mention the twinkism, the drama queens, and early obsolescence.
I have no idea what you’re talking about. Which is the point, I guess.
Well, it’s official. He used his last broadcast to announce his candidacy.
Account in The Nation.
You must mean St. Paul.
That was interesting, thanks. I hadn’t known he was so loose with facts. But inasmuch as he has settled on a career in politics, I guess it makes sense.
