Senate candidate Al Franken was on the Today Show this morning and I thought, overall, it was a very good segment. It doesn’t seem to be up on YouTube yet, but you can stream the video here (you have to scroll over in the “Video from today” video scroll).

I’ve been consistently impressed with Franken over the past few months. He’s clearly very bright, he knows the issues better than anyone, he’s good on the stump, and he can raise the cash. That being said, the last line from the interviewer still drives home a sore spot for me: “remember, this is the state that elected professional wrestler Jesse Ventura Governor.”
