You know, I had forgotten about Al Franken.
What's funny is that all of the actors and entertainers who became politicians that I can think of up until now have all been Republicans. Ronald Reagan Arnold Schwarzeneggar. Fred Thompson Fred Grandy (Gopher on the Love Boat) As for Mary Landrieu, the real problem for her opponent would be the completely f***cked up job by the White House. The only way a Republican would win that seat is to seriously badmouth the administration.

Once coattails had relevance. In the past 20 years, that has not been true. If you could say the entire Republican party screwed up, then that logic may be valid. However a president does not appear to have the same influence on other elections as was true 30 years ago. Local opinions by a regional politician on an issue - ie "Mission Accomplished" - caused many states to vote out their "we want more war" representative. IOW I suggest it was not so much George Jr's opinion they were voting against. Many were voting against those who supported a "we want war" agenda or other issues such as corruption. I don't think the LA election would be based on the administration’s incompetence during Katrina. Voting probably would be more about what "Mary Landrieu did for us" after Katrina. That would suggest why the Governor is not popular but why the Senator may be reelected. |

 Second place for the Green Party nomination. That would make him 249,223,123 in line for the throne.
