Hold onto your furry winter hats, folks; a poll conducted by the University of Minnesota shows comedian-turned-Democratic-activist Al Franken edging out the incumbent Republican Senator Norm Coleman, 43% to 40%. Granted, that is still within the margin of error . . . but it is the first time Franken has led. It goes to show that the comedian is no joke, and that we just might be able to take back the seat that belonged to the late, great Paul Wellstone.
The PDF of the poll is available at Minnesota Public Radio’s homepage: http://minnesota.publicradio.org/
