ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) - Nearly eight months after the election, Al Franken got the word: he's the new senator from Minnesota.
Franken won the seat by just 312 votes so he says he really has to earn the trust of the people who didn't vote for him. Maybe his new career is not such a long way from "Saturday Night Live," where Franken had two stints from 1975-1980 and 1985-1995 since recently SNL has pushed its political humor.

senators are meant to represent their state's interests and apparently, minnesota wants a democrat. so if you wanted a republican minnesota senator, you should've moved there. (btw, chet edwards is a democrat) the republicans screwed up big time over the past 8 years and now they're paying for it

The pendulum has swung so far to the left that our country is in real trouble. If Texas decided to secede from the Union, I don't think I would oppose it.
