Senator Al Franken

It's a great day for Minnesota and the country. I think with the passage of time, more people will see what I've seen: that Al Franken is a true public servant and a fine human being, and will prove to be an asset to his state and our nation. He is cut from Paul Wellstone cloth. He'll be on several committees, including Judiciary, Health, Indian, and Aging. Click here for a video of his victory speech. Here's a link to his 2006 movie Web site. I saw it in downtown DC (terrific movie) and Franken made a personal appearance. The movie follows him around on his senatorial campaign.
