[Tony_FLADEM]

Al Franken vs. Chris Christie for the presidency. That would be interesting.

3. He's great as one of my senators

We need him here for MN.

5. I love Franken but he has alot of baggage so to speak

Baggage that we as progressives don't care about but could be used against him in a Presidential race.

6. Agreed.

I've read his books.
I like it, but it isn't something for everybody.

7. Don't think that would EVER happen.....

I always feel sorry for Al when I'm watching him on C-SPIN. He looks lost, doesn't talk to a lot of other senators.....and then there's Ms. flirty Senator, Amy Klobuchar. Yikes, she's just the opposite of Al. She's always talking wildly with her arms flying around and touching the person she's talking to. It's quite funny watching her. But I am proud she's from MN and she's a pretty good Dem.

8. Amykins?

Meh. She doesn't do much.

9. *nodding* me really either....but she at least votes correctly.

[geardaddy]

10. Yeah, I prefer her to Mark Kennedy, that's for sure.

11. I think he'd make an excellent candidate and

could have a strong chance of winning if he's nominated.

[Aristus]

12. Well, we'd need some crossover voters, and

I don't think the Republicans would ever go for an actor as President...

13. he's good enough and smart enough

and gosh darnit, people like him.
