Senator Franken?

Salon reports Al Franken, the Air America radio host, is moving his radio show back home to Minnesota to get ready to run against Sen. Norm Coleman.

Jeralyn Merritt blogged Does he have a chance? Former Dean campaign manager Joe Trippi thinks so.

"He has national reach; his name and who he is will attract small contributors and large contributors from all over the country, so a lot of little folks too," says Democratic strategist Joe Trippi, who managed Howard Dean's 2004 presidential campaign. "In that way he's like the Dean campaign because he's really somebody that can energize not just Minnesota but around the country, to get involved and contribute."
I suspect he realizes that Air America is such a bust that it will not be around much longer, and he is trying to find a new job in the Senate.
