I can be a Senator: Because I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and, doggone it, people like me

By Dan Markel, Ethan Leib, Rick Garnett, Matt Bodie, Paul Horwitz , Steve Vladeck, and Orly Lobel

ADVERTISEMENTS

The May issue of The Atlantic (not yet online) has a feature on Al Franken and his run for the Senate in Minnesota. A very positive portrayal that captures the excitement of a newcomer to national politics who seems to offer something new and who appeals to young and first-time voters and new activists. It reminded me of a profile in the May 2004 New Yorker about another newcomer to national politics who had emerged as the surprising winner from a crowded Democratic field seeking the nomination for a Republican-held Senate seat and who seemed to bring something new and unique to the table.

So, I would love to hear from people who have been paying closer attention to this, especially any Minnesotans, who see this one on the ground and up close: Can Franken actually win this? And can he beat incumbent Republican Norm Coleman in November?
