A couple of points here:
1) They voted for Jessie Ventura. Ventura is a "truther" - i.e. someone who thinks Bush planned and excecuted 9/11, not the terrorists that actually did it. You see, it's all a big conspiracy...
2) Straight party line votes. See Chambliss, Saxby in Georgia. After election day, the vote was close enough to cause a run-off to be held later. But the run-off between him and Martin ended up in a Saxby landslide. Why? Because Obama wasn't on that ticket. In other words, folks like Martin and Stewart Smalley rode the straight-party-line voting coattails of Barry Milhouse Obama. If MN had a completely new vote - a runoff - Coleman would have dominated.
Alas we have this hothead, blowhard who's likely to be seated instead.
There are some individuals that transcend party. For instance, I am generally a Republican, but I don't get my party's love for Mike Huckabee. Yes, he's folksy, seems amiable, has a sense of humor and plays bass, but did anyone actually listen to him in the primary debates? Idiot.
If I were a Democrat, I would feel similarly about Bill Richardson. Thank God that guy will not be serving in Obama's cabinet afterall.
All you Dems out there, are you really happy that Al Franken will be a Senator?
Don't know about Dems, but I am pretty happy. You have to think bigger than just Republican versus Democrat, because the issues are bigger. Franken ran as a Dem, but that's unimportant. He's a liberal, and since that puts him to the left of both parties, I'm sure nobody feels comfortable having him around. There were many attacks on his books, some by people possessing a nightly platform from which to scream and bloviate, but when all was said and done the threats of lawsuits from Limbaugh and Hannity and others of their ilk faded because there are no serious factual errors in what Franken's written, and these people don't want to go into a public forum and have their lies aired out for the world to examine. Franken's books go out of their way to embarrass and belittle those who lie to the American people. The emphasis he places on truth, and its importance in political debate is desperately needed. Americans cannot intelligently decide issues when every word they hear is a "message" rather than a fact. Could Franken become corrupt as a politician? Possibly, but he isn't now. And that makes him ten thousand times better than Coleman, sorry.
Al, don't you have something more important to do right now than post "Anonymous" comments on random blogs? Really...you were one of the original writers on Saturday Night Live! Get some self-respect.
