Al Franken funds leave opponents in the dust
If anyone had doubts about the seriousness of comedian Al Franken's campaign to represent Minnesota in the Senate, his latest fundraising numbers go a long way toward showing his campaign is no laughing matter.
... Franken outraised Sen. Norm Coleman (R) in the second quarter by about $300,000, banking $1.9 million to the incumbent's $1.6 million. He raised money from all of the state's 87 counties, and from 27,790 individual contributors.
Norm Coleman, the rubber-stamp boy for George Bush will only serve one term as a Senator from Minnesota. Al Franken will rightfully regain the seat of Paul Wellstone and the people of Minnesota will once again have the representation they should have had all along.
