Franken One Step Closer to Senate
Jan 5th, 2009 | By Ed W. | Category: The Campaign
He’s not quite there yet, but jokester-turned-politican Al Franken (not to be confused with politican-turned-joke Rod Blagojevich) is another step closer to being sworn in as a United States Senator. A winner will be named at today’s meeting of the State Canvassing Board, and Franken, who is currently sitting on a 255 vote lead, will presumably be that winner. It isn’t a slam-dunk for Franken, however, as the Minnesota Supreme Court must first rule on outstanding legal challenges filed by incumbent Norm Coleman’s campaign.
