He might be another Wellstone in the Senate - I know Wellstone was despised for his liberal stance on every issue by the Conservatives, but he was possibly the most honest individual to ever take a seat in the Senate, and he came to be respected greatly for that.

I think Franken is cut from the same cloth.

I'm basing my comments in part on his rantings on "Air America" and he wasn't joking most of the time. Don't drag Wellstone into this for cover. Also don't pull the liberal/conservative card. I have had to deal with a lot of reps and senators over the years from 4 states.

You are the one coming on here acting like Franken won a land slide victory. He may very well have if a run of election was held like the did in Georgia to avoid a silly situation that will occur when the votes are within the statistical margin of error. If the margin of error is that close, a stack of ballots in the trunk of someone's car can change the out come and confidence.

Edit: BTW, you are one to talk about cheap shots only you don't level them at 2-bit politicians.
