Al Franken is considering running for the US Senate in his native state of Minnesota in 2008. Should he run?

If Arnold can serve as Governor, I suppose Al Franken can serve as Senator. He is very clear in his stance. I'm sure there will be quite a debate should he actually choose to run!

Not 100% sure, but he might be in Omaha Nebraska, which is his home town.  He runs a golf tourney there every year, and I thought he still lived there.

Yes, I lived in Virginia when he was first elected governor.  I'd like to see how far he could go with a run for the presidency.

John Stewart, is a shoe in for President, and so is Arnold, if he wasn't an immigrant.  Now Martha Stewart wouldn't make a bad Senator, seeing as she recruites the youth to do her business... XD\nOh, yeah, Oprah Whimphrey wouldn't be a bad candidate for vice president.  Give it up to Marilyn Manson for Secretary of State, and those boys from Pennywise would be prefect for the House.

Is Minnesota no longer real?  It is still on my map although I have not been there in a while.\n\nI think more and more states are disappearing and being replaced with cgi.\n\na pity.\n\n.

I suspect he will run for the nomination (winning is another thing.)  He has been out there making a name for himself outside of politics, writing and publicizng books for a general audience, talking on the Today show about weight loss, and he is chairman of the National education Association and the National Governor's Conference, both of which position him to forge alliences and demonstrate national leadership.  The mian political reason to do any of this is to set the ground for a Presidential run -- they don't help him in his home state as much as other things he could do which don't take him away.  He cannot run again for governor because of term limits.  And he is from a town called Hope, which gives hope to Presidential candidates (like Bill Clinton.)\n\nI have no doubt he is seriously considering running, and suspect he will actually try.\n\nPS -- it is Huckabee.

Yes I would and yes I have.  Shame on those we actually believe it is wasting their vote...they send a message to to DC that there corrupt status quo is acceptable to them,  Jesse Ventura  was elected as a third party candidate,though not a great governor, a clear message was sent to both parties that a only a moderate candidate is electable.  The current governor of Minnesota is an extremely moderate Republican.

He was from Indiana or Minnesota. Put up big numbers in college. Didn't live up to his potential and was soon out of the league.

There's no federal Senator by the name.  Is he a state Senator?  If so, which state do you live in?

He's an ambulance chaser. Those aren't good values. His experience is 1 term as a Senator. He couldn't carry his home state in a general election.

He's going to move to nebraska and be the next Miss America. Those legs....mmmm. Of course Fiengold will get the support he needs to become a transvestite. HE WILL BE ELECTED Miss USA

He's a natural born U.S. citizen, right?\n\nIf his stance on H.R. 4437 is anything BUT "let all illegals into this country, no documentation required", then he will have no problem vying for the Governor's seat in CA.  As far as the Presidency (including the ? above), well, I don't know.

Anyone can run for most public offices. Check your local laws. National offices have certain requirements that must be met. For example, to run for Senator the Constitution states:\nNo person shall be a Senator who shall not have attained to the age of thirty years, and been nine years a citizen of the United States and who shall not, when elected, be an inhabitant of that state for which he shall be chosen.\n \nThe Constitution is a very interesting and informative document. Every American should read it.

John McCain (hopefully)  i lived in Arizona for awhile, and he looked out for the best interest for the state and the country.   McCain 2008!

Only if the race were between Perry and Friedman.  Otherwise, no. In my opinion Friedman has no platform or experience.  Strayhorn and Gammage both have him beat hands down.

It's the state of Minnesota.  Not a country.

I'm a Democrat...live near Olathe, KS.\n\nI voted Democrat for all the offices, EXCEPT FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL.....I voted for Phil Kline.\n\nWe've had Morrison in this country for way too long. He loves cameras, he drinks a lot, and he is a publicity hound.\n\nAt least Phil tried to crack down on underage sex that lead to abortions. The people that raped them should be sent to jail. He tried, but his campaign was a mess.
