THEEEE Democrat WINS

is how Yankee radio baseball announcer John Sterling would call Al Franken's extra-inning victory over Norm Coleman.

Now we have to wait while Senate Democratic Majority Leader Harry Reid in a spirit of bipartisanship begs Repugs for permission to seat Franken, & asks them which committee assignments Al gets.

Al's coin toss win in a state Obama carried by 300,000 shows that independent Minnesotans had reservations about electing him over an incumbent. He had a tough primary, too. But Al will be a fine senator.

Al will be on the senate judiciary committee for the Sotermayor SCOTUS hearings. In 1991, he played a United States Senator in an SNL skit during the Clarence Thomas hearings
