Eagle-eyed @tedbarrettcnn spots Norm Coleman in Capitol - just as Franken talk reaches a fever pitch. "Is there a seat to run for?" he asks, noting Trump came within 1.5 points in Minnesota. The stat Coleman really remembers?
312 -- the # of votes he lost to Franken by in '08.

6. But wouldnt there be a call for a general election in 2018 for the seat?

[Scoopster]

7. Nope.

2018's election is for Amy Klobuchar's seat. If Franken resigns, whoever Dayton appoints as a replacement will serve until 2020.

9. Not true.

"Minnesota Public Radio says that Senator Al Franken is resigning tomorrow. Governor Mark Dayton, a Democrat, will name his successor who will serve until the mid-term elections in 2018."
