Good enough, smart enough, tough enough.

Stuart saves Minnesota? And patient enough. “Senator Franken” still sounds, well, funny–but we’ll take him even though there have been far less able legislators in the U.S. Senate than D-turned-R Norm Coleman. Too bad that Minnesota–historically a liberal state that has more than once played a major role in defining U.S. populism–can’t have them both this term. AP two days ago: “Minnesota court declares Franken leading vote-getter“. Problem: we can expect more legal “wrangling”. So see Bonnie Erbe’s modest proposal yesterday at USNWR.
