Ok, just an aside here…What exactly are Al Franken’s ‘new ideas’ and ‘vision’ for Minnesota other than Raise Taxes, redistribute wealth, ‘sock it to Big Oil’ and George Bush and Dick Cheney should be tried for war crimes??? She’s not going to ‘trump’ Franken on far left, whackbag talking points. That’s how he’s made his living for the last 15 years. Al’s brand of derangement cannot be trumped.

Right. Republican women.

Like Betty McCollum, Mari Urness Pokornowski and the 18% of the DFL Femist Caucus that voted not to endorse Porn-O-Rama.

Did you see her on Almanac last week? Lets not confuse different with strong.

The DFL Femenist Caucus has endorsed Al Franken.

I don’t know how I can make it any more clear to you that the problems Al faces with women come primarily from republican women who wouldn’t vote for their own gynecologist/spiritual leader/mother wrapped into one candidate if said uber candidate were running as a democrat.

Rape jokes, objectification, belittling a very strong woman primary challenger.

What’s next with this guy?

Right. And that best chance is an ice cube’s chance in hell, which is why everyone recognizes it’s gonna be a big GOP win.

And anyone who saw her on Almanac this week knows that she is not a person who has cultivated a number of position points and ideas that will differentiate herself from the candidate that has been running for two years, and faced the scrutiny that that entails.

Bottom line. If Lord Farris were a legitimate candidate who had a ton of new ideas, fresh energy and a vision for the state that trumped Al Franken’s, I think you would see some traction for her campaign. But it isn’t there.

Most people in this state, democrat or republican, recognize that Al Franken stands the best chance to defeat Norm Coleman this fall. So while democrats are yawning over Lord Farris, republicans are desperate to find anyone but Al to face in November.

Say what you will about Porn-O-Rama Franken, he really knows how to pick dedicated butt boys.

And I have been posting as hottip for a year and only have one posting name. Sorry I am not honey dog and good try to smear someone else to make your Racist self look better.

To all the new posters here Tommy / TWO PUTT / ? He has many other names here and has on several occasions posted racist rants. He doesn’t like people of Middle Eastern dissent.

How many DFL debates *already happened*? SEVENTEEN. The endorsement process already completed. She had her opportunity and she didn’t even try. Just because some random astray in the DFL wants to call for a debate and get media attention doesn’t warrant getting it. I think what the Franken campaign is doing is fair.

Remember republiCon Ron, rippin’ Franken over some paperwork problems? That’s republiCon Ron tryin’ to hold a Democrat to standards republiCon Ron hasn’t and can’t meet himself. You know, hypocrisy.

And Michael tryin’ to rip Franken for not debating a nuisance, when you know ol’ Smokescreen won’t debate is own personal nuisance, is the same thing: republiCon Hypocrisy.

But what I find really funny is Dogface, er, ‘scuse me, “Honeydog”, now posting under a new name: “hottip”.
