Aaaaah, one hot mess!

The Senate race in Minnesota got murkier (and more exciting today). Not only is Jesse Ventura going to end his tap-dancing tonight on Larry King tonight and say for sure whether or not he is running for Senate (please say yes! please say yes!) but Al Franken picked up a challenger (beyond the two guys who ALWAYS run) when daughter of Miles Lord (a retired Federal judge), Priscilla Lord Faris filed paper work to challenge Franken in the September primary. She "isn't persuaded he can take the seat away from Coleman."

Well, thank God some DFL'er out there has some common sense. I would have told anyone this about four months ago- I was never a big fan of Franken even before he had a ton and a half of scandals dropped on him and I'm glad someone's realizing what a wasted opportunity the DFL could have on its hands if it lets Franken just flail about and lose badly to Coleman in the fall. (OK, so maybe he won't lose badly. Just in a really sucky manner.)

Either way: Governor Ventura, Ms. Faris, take note- you'll probably be getting copies of my resume in the mail by the end of the week along with a few other things. Please hire me, it'd rock to work for either of you.
