let’s hope franken changes his mind and stays in denver. double win: one shows franken leaves the state to be with national party rather than spending time with the “people” as he has previously stated; and, two, it highlights how norm stays in minnesota to work with the people rather than leaving to attend a national convention.

Actually the DNC sent Al an invitation to speak via certified mail. Someone at the vast Franken compound signed for it, Al says he never saw it. Now it’s to late.

The idea that the DNC would want Al Franken to speak at the convention is just plain silly. Why would they?? His one and only accomplishment in life is being- Al Franken. He’s never held office. He is, in all probability, going to be crushed in his current bid.

If you can’t see that the DNC is just throwing him a bone…you’re deluded.

If the DNC wanted Franken to speak at the convention, he would be speaking at the convention. Period.

This is a non-invitation invitation.

As I wrote before You are a partisan hack, which has been proven with your lucrative ‘part time position/spokesman’ for the Radical Rights poster-child.

Hey Aaron, I’m sure you were invited to your “friend’s” birthday parties that were conveniently held while you were out of town as a kid too… And I’m sure they’d have loved to have you if your schedule would have changed…

LMAO!

It doesn’t really matter what the DNC had in mind. He obviously has sufficient funding to afford the airline reservation change fee if he wished to show his face on nationwide TV. But his opting for a week-long incarceration at the State Fair sort of confirms that FrankAl’s campaign has become a candidacy-on-a-stick. Initially appealing, but eventually indigestable.

I’d like for you to please backup your morbidly obnoxious claim that the DNC intentionally made their decision to “snub” Franken.

You are seriously ridiculous.

Oh snap, you forgot the end part:

Matthew Miller, a DSCC spokesman, said that right now there are no openings to speak at the convention while Franken is in town Monday. But if a time slot opens up, Miller said, “We’d love to have him speak.”

Oh, so was this an honest mistake, or a lie? Either way, I look forward to your corrected post.
