Al Franken goes from top target to heavy favorite for Minnesota Senate

Republicans promised to make funnyman 
Al Franken a one-term senator, but look who’s laughing now.
The Minnesota Democrat looked to be a top GOP pickoff target next year after his agonizing seven-month recount and legal battle put him in the Senate in 2009 by a mere 312 votes.
Yet, in a turnabout few could’ve predicted, Franken has yet to draw a Republican opponent. The GOP looks likely to choose between relatively unknown state legislators, inexperienced businessmen or a conservative radio host with a history of controversial statements.
re-read that last paragraph please, it speaks to the fact that the republicans are not looking for the best candidate to serve us but any fire breather that can scare you into voting for them which by default becomes a vote for big business and them to carry on as usual, which also includes just what you have now, Pres. fighting for us and some voting for, what you got now.
they have not been able to keep one of their anti American promises, losers yeah and they will continue coming up with new plans wrapped in the same premise, bring down the progressives but it's hard reaching up from the ground and pull someone down there with you.
Democrats are defending seats in seven red states carried by Mitt Romney last year, but Republicans are highly unlikely to run the table in those places
progressives will not give up on looking out for you even if you made an uninformed vote, but vote for Pres. and you got more of nothing coming from the right wing. they will never end their war with the progressives leaving your needs right where they've been since 2009 with those WMD's. recognize
