Al Franken Finally Wins Minnesota Senate Seat
Posted on June 30th, 2009 No comments
So, Al Franken finally got his Minnesota Senate race victory, and one can’t help but wondering if it is because he’s good enough, he’s smart enough, and dog-gone-it, people like him.Even if you only just barely lean middle or right, you should be very concerned. J.D. Hayworth explained on his radio show this evening that the win gives Democrats 60 seats, which means that they can put a stop to Republican filibustering. Not sure what the ramifications of this are? In a nutshell, it will further prevent discussions (arguments) about future bills. Not that the even read the ones they’re passing now.
Suffice to say that it’s another huge blow in the ongoing saga of decimation the Blues are forcing upon the red, white and blue.
