Franken is Not Running for Senate

Posted by Eric at 3:12 pm. Filed under: General

From KSTP:

After speculation that Al Franken would run for the Senate seat Mark Dayton is leaving open, the comedian says he is not going to be a candidate.

Which raises the possibility that if Franken gets the nomination, Mark [Kennedy] may run against the only man in America who is NOT funnier than he is.

If you don’t remember, Mark Dayton is one who accused Condi Rice of lying about Iraq.

“I don’t like to impugn anyone’s integrity, but I really don’t like being lied to repeatedly, flagrantly, intentionally,” Mr. Dayton told her. “It’s wrong; it’s undemocratic; it’s un-American; and it’s very dangerous. It is very, very dangerous. And it is occurring far too frequently in this administration.”

He funded his own campaign and now doesn’t have enough money left, doesn’t want to do fundraising and his popularity is dropping fast in Minnesota.
