[…] now the single most touching ad I’ve seen this cycle was Franni’s ad. It’s just a beautiful, moving ad that reminds all of us that there is little more we can […]

Al Franken will be many times over the Senator we have now in Norm.

Six years ago, I heard Norm Coleman say at the very debate at the same site that “when elected Senator, I will get the job done.” The late Paul Wellstone had won that debate. This evening, Coleman repeated the lines “talk and action”.

This evening, Norm was on the defensive the whole time. Al Franken showed that he has the seriousness to put “talk and action” into play, as well as getting the job done for Minnesotans and not Special Interests.

My point about Al Franken being a good writer didn’t mean that he scripted this ad for his wife. It is that she makes the point that he wrote movies to help with chemical addiction. That is great.

That means Al Franken is a gifted writer and can write movies or TV shows that move people. I love SNL, for example, and much of what I love was probably created in Al Franken’s mind.

I vote for Al Franken to be a movie and TV writer. That is what he was put on this earth to do. Not to attempt to be my US Senator.

Leaving aside the politics of the matter (yes, it is possible), I admire her courage as a human being to speak in public about this part of her life. It isn’t easy to do.

What a great ad.

Franni is a class act. I am fortunate to have befriended her. She always hasa hug for me when we see one another at functions. She has one of the hats I made for a fundraiser last summer that she won the bid on wears it on the campaign trail.

Franni speaks from the heart about Al and what the campaign stands for. I have had the bpelasure to meet Thomasin. She is smart, articulate, and grateful for her parents.

I also have a special gift Franni gave me that I cherish. It’s nothing big or momentous, but it has meaning for me.

The GOPers got Norm Coleman. Deep down in their hearts, they KNOW he is just a RINO. If - God forbid - Bushy McSame were to actually win, but the Senate races went Democratic in a big way and we ended up with 59 seats, and Reid offered Norm a committee to switch, do they really believe ol’ Smokescreen would be a “man of principle and conviction” and stick with the GOP?

The reality is the base doesn’t trust Coleman, and everyone else recognizes The Weasel for what he is.
