All things in this country point towards a Democratic swing in leadership when the ballots next go out to the populus. The New York Times interviewed Al Franken about his reasons for and dedication to his race for a seat in the Senate. As all Minnesotans remember, the state not long ago elected a 'professional' wrestler, Jesse Ventura just because he was something different. Hopefully Governor Ventura did not scare too many Minnesotans away from alternative choices for government leaders because Franken is a serious option that could be a great asset.
Franken, a Minnesota native, has an affection for home-state that he wants to represent in the Senate. Although Franken spent three decades out of Minnesota doing the comedy circuit on Saturday Night Live, stand-up, and even his own novels, his roots are in the Twin Cities.
Franken maintains his humor when out meeting the voters but has taken up a new face that attempts to prove his devotion and desire to the race for Senate. This new mix will keep his fans of many years on his side and is starting a buzz that will inspire new Franken fans to jump on the wagon. But the question remains, do entertainers belong in government? There definitely are the precedents, for better or worse. Al Franken will most likely prove to be one of the better precedents if elected.
