The Fix Upgrades Franken

This morning at Washington Post’s The Fix, Chris Cillizza upgrades the Minnesota Senate race from #10 to #7 in the list of Senate races that are most likely to switch parties in the fall [via Polinaut]:

7. Minnesota (R): Comedian Al Franken’s (D) campaign has settled down nicely over the past few weeks — stopping the bleeding and turning toward substance. And, Sen. Norm Coleman (R) is going to continue to face questions in the coming months about his housing situation while in Washington. (Previous ranking: 10)

It’s true. While people are coming together for Franken he’s traveling across Minnesota talking about the things that matter to Minnesotans. For example, press this morning is about Franken in Saint Cloud talking about energy policy. On the contrary, Coleman is scrambling with looming ethics violations.

    Lets see Al Franken campaigning with vulnerable Democrat house members in

    -Woodbury
    -Red Wing
    -LaCrescent
    -North Branch
    -Blaine
    -or Cottage Grove.

    Once that happens I’ll believe that people are “coming together for Franken.”

    Thanks for the straw man, Dumb. I’ll add it to the collection strewn about by the wingnut brigade.

    Latest poll still has the race in the margin of error against a ‘moderate’ republican incumbent who is still under 50%

    Good luck in November.
