That way, people can vote for their top choice without strategic calculation and also vote for their second choice.

I think Franken as a senator would be a very scary thing. I think in the year of ACORN if Franken wins in a recount there is no way the GOP will stay quiet about it.

Maybe I'm wrong. In any case, your comment seems to imply that Franken was the incumbent, which is downright weird. The scary thing is that I don't think Eneils is a troll. Maybe I'm wrong.

Thought he was better at cursing and using profanity than any other democrat I know of. That's except for Ted Kennedy when he would pull one of his famous week-ender's or overnighter's. Guess it's time to replace the old guard. Franken's expertise within the democrat party will be missed in Washington. But, you can catch him on Comedy Central or within the halls of SNL. Wow,
