Franken
UPDATE 3: Franken kept up the suspense until the end of his show today; then he chickened out of the race.
Al Franken is expected to announce on his radio show todaythat he’ll run for the Minnesota Senate seat opened up by Senator Mark Dayton (D-MN) yesterday.
This is great news for Republicans! Franken would be almost as weak a candidate as Dayton would have been. Meanwhile, the GOP will have a strong candidate in Congressman Mark Kennedy.
UPDATE: BulldogPundit predicted this yesterday.
UPDATE 2: BTW, you can listen to Franken’s show online at noon Eastern.
