Franken Campaign: Wheels coming off?

I know many local DFLers who are not content with the choices this year for US Senate. I listened to his opponent in a radio interview, and if he was halfway credible he would be the nominee and not Franken. To many conspiracy theory's from both candidates combined with Ventura running around the country I think cements a win for Senator Coleman.

Al Franken's career as an entertainer made him famous and rich and positioned him to run for the U.S. Senate.

Republicans, who for more than a year have eagerly unearthed controversial tidbits from Franken's comedy routines and books, have in recent weeks discovered several slip-ups in the celebrity's business life. On Thursday, they claimed to have found another possible irregularity, a charge that has yet to be resolved.
