Al Franken wins DFL endorsement and is taken more seriously

Via The Economist --

"AN IMPLAUSIBLE politician has just become somewhat less so. On June 7th Al Franken, a former comedian on “Saturday Night Live”, radio commentator and author of books such as “Lies and the Lying Liars who Tell Them: a Fair and Balanced Look at the Right”, won the endorsement of Minnesota's Democratic-Farmer-Labour party (DFL) for the post of senator. "

I think he's going to win. I hope so, if only for the justice served of him taking over the seat of his late friend Paul Wellstone.
