Picture of the Day - Franken takes the lead













For the first time, Al Franken edged ahead in the recount, and the way the process is being ordered, it's not at all unlikely likely that he might stay there.

The Minneapolis Star-Tribune projects Franken by 80 votes.

Am I ready for Senator Al Franken? Let's get Franken and Barney Frank up there at a press conference, trading one liners.

Also: The Fix looks at Senate '10 races and the Dems could pick up even more.

  • I'd welcome a Senator Franken, if only for the acid soundbites that would inevitably end up on the evening news. I think he'd work hard at being a good representative for Minnesota.

  • I tend to agree. The guy does know as much if not more about policy than alot of rookie Senators.

    My only fear is that he becomes a bludgeon against the Dems. Kind of a celebrity hate object that then gets injected down into other races.
