I don't know why you think it will be decided by the Senate. The vote
is very close, which triggered an automatic recount. That recount
won't be finished until the middle of December.

I'm also not sure why you think Franken would be embarrassing. After
all, they elected Jesse Ventura, and Franken is an educated guy who's
been engaged on the issues for years. I always enjoyed his program on
Air America because he had substantial guests for interviews and
didn't just rant and rave. So far as I know, Wilbur didn't go to
college.
