#1 Polling results this week confirmed Franken's precarious position: more Minnesotans have a negative impression of him

#2 Take one RINO GOP candidate (Coleman)and mix in a half cup of recognizable 3rd party candidate (Barkley). Allow dough to rise in a climate ripe for a GOP protest vote (Dems in MN don't know how to vote other than straight ticket DFL).

Remove from oven and sprinkle with a little vote tampering (25 counties have more votes cast than voters that signed in on election day, for instance) and you get Al Franken!

#3 Ah, but Al forgot about the Rush factor. You don't call Limbaugh a Big, Fat Idiot and expect to get away with it - especially now that you are in the public spotlight. Now there is no libel or slander rules to apply by Rush. And if Al does a Harry Reid and try to pick a public fight with Rush, he will just make more money for the right and dig a hole deeper than his tiny feet can climb out of.

#5 Now they figure out he's a putz?

I guess frostbite can affect the brain, too, not just fingers and toes.
