Al Franken has Coleman on the ropes

Coleman, is disarming-- unilaterally:

"At times like this, politics should not add to negativity -- it should lift people up with hope and a confident vision for the future," Coleman said in prepared remarks. "And second, I decided that I was not all that interested in returning to Washington for six years based on the judgment of voters that I was not as bad as the other two guys."

The other two guys are Democratic comedian Al Franken and Independence Party candidate Dean Barkley. Three recent polls show Franken taking his first lead after trailing, sometimes badly. The numbers ranged from a 43 - 34 - 18 split in a Minneapolis Star Tribune poll released last week to 41 - 37 - 14 in a Minnesota Public Radio/Humphrey Institute sounding released Wednesday.


Amazing. "He will pull his negative advertising and urge his supporters to do the same." Whatever.

Now, Franken's numbers are not all that great either, at 42, but it looks like its only going to take a plurality to win.

I just had a thought-- of waiting up for the Alaska returns to see if we hit 60.
