Al Franken, a Democrat running for the U.S. Senate, will be on Midday today at 11 AM. Franken's DFL opponent, Jack Nelson-Pallmeyer, will be on the show tomorrow. Franken is also starting a tour of the suburbs today. Here's part of the release:
U.S. Senate candidate Al Franken will be visiting with middle-class Minnesotans this week as part of his "On Your Side" tour to talk with working families about the squeeze they're facing in the Bush-Coleman economy and his ideas for putting prosperity back within reach for working people.
Franken and Nelson-Pallmeyer are hoping to challenge GOP incumbent Norm Coleman.

When students read about Norm Coleman in the history books of the future, the best that they might believe is that he was elected. By both parties. While standing for nearly nothing with any consistency. Now that's an accomplishment.
