1. If I could vote I would.

We need Al and his sense of humor helps during these dark times.

I just laughed and laughed when I watched Trading Places again last week. Smart, funny and a Dem...who could ask for anything more?

2. Me, too!

But where would that leave Klobuchar and Smith? One of them would have to decide not to run again, because I can't imagine Franken challenging either of them in a primary.

3. couldn't he run on a national ticket? nt

[Ocelot II]

4. Not unless he runs for president or vp. There are no national senate elections.

5. Wait a minute.

How about 5 "at large senators?
Elected nationally. Would likely be Dems.

[Ocelot II]

6. How could that be done without a constitutional amendment,

which isn't going to happen?

[Grasswire2]

7. well, that's what I meant.

On the national ticket. POTUS or VP

[Ocelot II]

8. Oh; ok. Franken had mentioned only an interest in the senate,

and he’s always said he wasn’t interested in running for president or vp so I assumed the reference was only to a senate seat - and his problem would be that there is no open seat in his state.
