"I'm Running"

[RandallFlaggNY]

Did Norm Coleman ever get that operation where his nose was attached to Dubya's anus?

[kaneinkorea]

I don't see why any Minnesotan would vote for Coleman. Aren't gas prices high enough for them? The country is in a free fall because of the likes of Coleman. Time for change. We can't afford the luxury of Republicans anymore.

[drumbum2011]

Last I saw, gas was around $2.11

Not great, but an upgrade. (No pun intended.)

Do you live in Minnesota? 0.o

[harshvgaus]

thank the recession, everything is worth less and if you can hold onto your job and salary, good times are ahead.

[Salvatrucho213]

Minnesotans have a tough choice Jesse Ventura or Al Franken. Very tough. I like both of those guys. Lucky Minnesotans I am stuck with Diane Feinstein and you guys get these two!

[jesrock1979]

Paid for by comedians for Congress.

[yankeesfan2006]

Are you serious Al Franken is running for president

[thenoblefool]

LOL. No, the Senate.

[msav111]

I wish he were, but senate's good enough.

[xxXKristiXxx]

Al Frakken is fighting for us? I do not think so! He neglected to pay workers comp for his employees not for one year, not for two years, but 3 years! He wasn't paying for workers comp! What does that tell you about how much he cares for anyone but himself. Also, he wants to take our money - tax, tax, tax, tax...the stupid dems here in Minnesota are raising our taxes left and right~! Why?! To give to people that don't work and live off the goverment.

[goldenskatearmy]

can you back up what you say with documented evidence?

[RainyJane]

Why doesn't he start with doing something about the sucky water in St. Louis Park?! Everything that ran through SLP water turned orange. You know how many Brita water filters I went through?!

What Has Been Learned After Five Years?

by Anthony Gregory

[hernquin2008]

You're kidding right? BTW, you forgot the lady who sells corndogs on the corner of the drug rehab halfway house.

[4latte]

Al we are on the same side. Come on Al, stand up with me for Hillary, Americas strongest hope since you are not on the ticket. My son needs healthcare, he works 40+ hours per week at aabout 9.50 an hour. No kids, no spouse (gay) no insurance. Raise your voice for Hillary.

[TAMARLANE]

Good idea.

Put all the large companies out of business.

Vote for Al Franken.

[giggitygoo1213]

Is this for real? The same guy who looks into a mirror and says, "I'm good enough, Im smart enough, and dog gonnit people like me."

[codediporpal]

If Franken was a black man, he would not be in this position.

[MALIZBONE]

I AL IS THE BEST.

[richardcranium01]

I hope you win Al it would be good for Minn. and America !!!!!! Good Luck !!!! I don't even live in Minn. but I have donated to your cause.

[1outoftheblue]

It's really all about Energy policy,Healthcare and the value of the Dollar. Look I'm a Barack supporter however I think the country needs strong Democratic leadership for 16 years. Hillary does bring that to the table at the top of the ticket. We must break away from fossil fuel dependency. Four terms and continued pressure from the voters gets us there. Ask for a Hillary/Obama. Barack all though it is his time for the good of our nation please broker a deal. Peace

[drunkdecoy]

Viva Franken

[BIBIchgo]

How about pouring all this AD money into people's foreclosures and solve that problem. My parents can sure use just $100,000.00 to save their home.

[janebusby]

It's clear to me from the comments below, that some Americans don't understand politics & dont know whats good for them!

Socialism, believe it or not is GOOD! The alternative is a dividing & polarisation of the classes! Where the rich become richer & more powerful. 10% of the country own a massive 90% of the wealth. The rich buy politicians, and make profit out of under providing for YOU with shit healthcare, education, policing & transport. They take tax cuts & send you to war!!!

[Rosen915]

Go Al!!

[spoiledbigtime]

Al is going to be a GREAT Senator! I come from Kansas where our Senators are nothing but the lap dogs for W. It's great to see a true American stand up for the people. All you folks who fear socialism...get over it, it's not socialism to be your brothers keeper, it's Christian.

[Zile77]

Franken is a lying hypocrite like all liberal losers. He was once funny on SNL back in the day, but now he's a just a pathetic hangers-on looking for a camera. All these Hollyweird types are dumber than their own crap... democrap that is.

[WDWHolidays]

Al, come back to St Louis, we need you here.

[SPACE3200]

and dag gone it I like myself

[zzx2847]

Gross.

[gemini067]

Al Frankenstein will do for the country what he has done for Air America.

[amyers15d]

Al Frankin is a socialist, who will do nothing but make us more dependent of the government and introduce a new wave of FACISM in this country. I guess thats why they call Minnesota the Moscow on the Mississippi

[mcgrawtim123]

Socialism and Fascism are opposites. Socialism is big government paying for everyone's well-being cradle to grave. Fascism is government by and for the corporations...kinda like the USA today. I have no idea what Al Franken will do in Congress, but it's one or the other, not both.

[danond]

Nobody calls it that. Seriously - google it.

[stealth63]

"Socialist" is you bogey word, but you know what? Most intelligent people know what socialism is, and no major candidates (that I know of) are supporting socialism. It's like the so called "socialized medicine". No major candidates support socialization of medicine. Your scary words don't work any more. People are too well informed. Now maybe if you compared him to Hitler....or Satan! No wait, how about John Hagee!

[TrustKovacss]

how would a socialist strive for a fascist government?

[Garet43]

First off, I really don't think you know a damn thing about political ideology. Socialism and "facism" are very different ideologies that are incompatable with each other (facism has a basis in nationalism, socialism has a basis in classism). Why do you think that Hitler and Stalin coated Russia in blood trying to kill each other?

[Garet43]

Also, as a Minnesotan I have never heard us called "the Moscow on the Mississippi" but I do find it rather amusing. Perhaps you are alluding to our nationally acclaimed educational systems? Or how about our status as the healthiest state in the nation? Hmmm, maybe that isn't good enough. Maybe I should move to a state with low taxes, like Alabama or Alaska. Their economies are certainly booming due to their low taxes! Aren't they...?

[muffinmix1]

first of all dont make Al is a registered democrat and if you've read any of his books you would this. But I guess he believes in universal healthcare, so hes a socialist in your eyes. Secondly, fascism? By "new wave of fascism" are you referring to some evolved form of the fascism we have in america right now? Sorry man, he wont do that. You'll have to elect McCain if thats what your hoping for.

[YawnGod]

u r schtoopid.

socialism =/= facism.

plz g0 and learn 2 education.

[StrayGator]

Are you ill?

[msav111]

no but you're pretty dumb

[computerpurple]

If you love BIG SOCIALIST UTOPIA DOMESTIC TAX AND SPENDING than vote for al.

[dozdolt44]

You know, you just can't get away with crap like that anymore. Conservative dream candidate George Bush expanded the federal government like no other president before. Due to his excessive spending the federal debt went from 5 trillion in 2000 to just about 10 trillion today. Stop the lies. Reagan/Bush did more to drive this country into ruin than any other team in history.

[stewart0312]

If you want your taxes to go to special interests and fighting useless wars overseas, don't vote for Al!

[kizzitt]

They all tell you whatthey are going to change.... in reality, all that changes is their job and income. You never see their outcry after elected!

[tdub2226]

That would be great if Al wins! Then maybe he can take more of our money here in Minnesota for projects like more hockey rinks and gorilla exhibits. I know one thing for sure, light rail here in MN has really helped the congestion on the roads. What a joke. This state is soooo screwed up!

[zereoue]

Go get em Al!

You are a step in the right direction to get this country back on track.

[essar1]

This commercial really gets to the key point: Al won't be beholden to big money and corporate interests. GO AL,and if you live in MN caucus on 2/5!

[lclampi]

Ditto!

[IncredibleGoliath]

It's annoying he still has to specifically use the word 'serious', as in "I'm serious about helping people". Ridiculous that man who made people laugh for a living should have to play down his former job, while a lawyer (many of whom are merely professional liars) is automatically assumed to have the right qualifications for senate.

[bagimin]

there is a decent man. good luck AL.

[williamjacobs]

another nice ad.

good luck Mr. Franken.

Is Otto on staff?

[boyprodegy]

Thank's Al

[JTylerBallance]

Al Franken was funny on Saturday Night Live. He's too far to the left on some issues for me, but if he came out in support of Ron Paul, he would seem more credible as a real candidate and not just another celebrity seeking office for egotistical reasons.

Who will be the next celebrity candidate? Paris or Britney?

[smalls469]

Read his book lies and the lying liars who tell them and then try to paint a picture of him being "to far to the left." He is just a decent person, not a crazy raging liberal, as all of you probably believe at this point. All of them(senators) are going to take money from someone, it's about whether or not you care enough to refuse money for a good reason(unlike the republicans!)And while your at it, read a little about his good friend Paul Wellstone.

[aksamwise]

GO GET EM AL!!!

[mikeellert]

I think he just might win. Minnesota dares to elect fresh voices for the people. They are on the cutting edge of politics in the future.

They are not suckered by old school politics very often.

[JohnnyCamacho]

If Democrats all over the country speak as passionately and clearly as Al has, we'll have another very good year.

[tom500k]

No doubt Franken would be an improvement over Sen. Norm "the sleaze" Coleman", but would Franken ultimately chicken out; he's already toned down his opposition to the criminal war of aggression against Iraq...

[deepmindquest1]

after Ron Paul wins we will give him a chance.

[darkpwnage09]

Please..after how badly Bush has screwed up a doubt that we're going to get another Republican president..

[expectopatrono]

so you automatically vote for someone based on party affiliation? look up ron paul.

[FilipeBrasAlmeida]

What would be worse than a Republican president would be a Republican conspiracy theorist as President, like Ron Paul.

[Galligator123]

...I'm not even sure that merits a response due to how blatant of a lie it is.

Some of his supporters are, but the man himself is not in any way shape or form.

[widgetbrain]

A toast to your optimism! I have to say its a relief to see that the Republican party has a few members willing to do some independent thinking, even though I don't agree with much of either philosophy. I have to ask... what have you folks been doing for the last seven years? If you truly agree with Ron Paul's principles... why didnt you folks speak up earlier?

[Galligator123]

I had no idea I believed the way I did until I saw a National figure and heard him speak, and that was Dr. Paul. As for the rest of the party, I do not know, I can't speak for them.

[billionbucks]

This is really good

[westjuan]

I'm proud of you for having the courage.

good luck!

[Madgibby]

Franken for president 2012!

[iloveenid]

Can't wait to see you on C-Span!

[Blue387]

Make something funny, like the Wellstone ads that Bill Hillsman put on in 1990.

[jaysonnitro]

Go AL! Great Ad.

[michaelispan]

Al have U been back to St. Cloud?

[d1mf1n]

Franken you rock.

[TylerNull]

Yeah, and Air America showed that he sinks like one too; failed comedian, turned failed political satirist, turned failed political commentator, turning to his latest failure.

Alan Stuart Franken for Senate?

Let's hope, for America's sake, his unimpeachable record of failure continues.
