Comments on: Franken’s initial approval rating: right where he left off

[...] Just a week ago, I noted what a non-entity Minnesota’s other Senator, Amy Klobuchar, has been in the Senate. Yesterday, Klobuchar gave a demonstration of why she’s been the Unknown Senator and losing ground in the state during her tenure. Klobuchar held her one and only session of accountability with her constituents over the phone yesterday evening instead of facing the voters directly. Not only that, but the teleconference was somewhat difficult to join: U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar took the national health care debate to the phone lines Sunday night, talking with more than 10,000 Minnesotans about reforming the current system. [...]

Then, why the H-E-Double sticks did they elect that clown in the first place?!?!?!?

OK, Franken is a weak incumbent. But Coleman must have been absolutely pathetic, then, to have been the incumbent and still get beaten by Franken. I’m not a Minnesotan, so I wondered that all the way through the battle: why was the incumbent in such dire straits that he could be seriously challenged – and ultimately beaten – by this clown? Coleman must have been one sorry case. Perhaps the Minnesota Republicans are well rid of him.

Does anyone really think this idiot can do anything be defeated in 5 years? The only reason we got a Republican there in the first place is because Paul Wellstone died and the funeral/party for him made the Dems look more ghoulish than usual.

Sounds like a plan!
Lets get a $ collection going and hire a plane with some “well stoned” pilots to fly Al around the state next time he’s back here pushing O’s agenda!

Hate having this ass clown as my Senator. I just had a feeling he was going to find enough ballots to win a recount. What an embarassment. I still don’t know why MSP is so liberal…must be our famous welfare system.

The pollsters can’t find all the ACORN members who voted in MN, so the poll number will NATURALLY be lower.

It was, after all, the input of Acorn into the electoral process that got this mindless twit the job of Senator in the first place.

FlameWarrior on August 17, 2009 at 2:24 PM

Yeah… didn’t they “find” a bunch of ballots in the back of some guys car?

*That* didn’t sound too fishy, huh?

Good news for ‘conservatives’ – he only has 5 1/2 more years before reelection!

If the GOP can make 2014 a two-candidate race, Franken should be easy to beat.

The key here is “if.”
What has the GOP yet done to take advantage of this groundswell against ObamaCare?? What have they done to take advantage of Obama’s crashing poll numbers?? A commercial or two on the internet? A speech or press release here or there??
I am wondering if some of them don’t mind being in the minority. You can’t be blamed for anything. You have little responsibility. You don’t have to lead. Just give a speech here or there, send out a few fund raising letters and just keep collecting that pay check and all those perks.
Nice work if you can get it.

Minnesota is a ‘special’ state.

Full of ‘special’ people.

At this point I figure he could go on a 20 minute profane and racist tirade just a couple of weeks before the election in 2014 and still come close enough to rig yet another “win”

LOL who cares what his approval ratings are? They could be +173% and no one would care. Senator Franken could fly to the moon and no one would care.

It’s just so funny to see you guys get your panties all twisted up at even the near mention of his name.

The pollsters should have counted some of the opinions twice and not counted others at all so the poll would reflect the election process.

I would ask how in the hell Minnesotans voted for this guy, but I just look at who’s in the White House and have to figure that the majority of Americans had a psychotic episode last November.

In fairness to Ed and company, there were many a “found” ballot that put Franken over the top. Intially, Coleman won, but after each recount somehow Franken received more and more votes. In somecases, precincts had MORE than 100% voter turnout. Hmmmmm???? That’s not suspicious.

You have to blame Norm Coleman. When you vote and campaign like AllahPundit (e.g. a RINO) you should expect to lose.

I doubt if they polled the car trunk voters or the “extra” people that appear to live in several parts of Minnesota.
