Al Franken's Independent Streak

摘要

Sen. Al Franken (D-minn.) has big plans. He is hoping the 2010s will be the "Al Franken Decade," at least when it comes to his service in Washington. He is currently looking to be returned to the Senate for a second term this November, which would take him through 2020. According to Public Policy Polling, Franken leads all his potential Republican opponents by double-digits. That would be a big change from 2008, when he won in a recount by a razor-thin margin over incumbent Norm Coleman; Franken was not sworn in until July 2009.
