Good News (Democrats)/Bad News (Republicans)

By GottaLaff

Minnesota thinks comedians make good senators. They are very wise:

Franken Moves Ahead of Coleman in Senate Race

The latest Minnesota Public Radio poll shows Al Franken (D) inching ahead of Sen. Norm Coleman (R-MN) in their U.S. Senate race, 41% to 40%.

And Republicans know that they are in deep shitake (see above):

Senate Republicans Fail in Fundraising Effort

Sen. John Ensign (R-NV), the head of the Senate Republicans' campaign effort, said his colleagues "have not heeded his calls for contributions to contested races, threatening advertising on behalf of GOP candidates," CQ Politics reports.

Said Ensign: "It has become clear that my call has gone largely unanswered. I have no control over the timing or content of (independent) ads, but I have had no choice but to decrease the total budget for our (independent expenditures) unit.

Al Franken is funny, but the Republicans are the real joke.
