7. We went with Franken for a couple of reasons

I even contributed to Greenfield's campaign, but her campaign seems geared to trying not to lose instead of working to win. Her ads and many of her interviews I have seen she really doesn't say much. It is like she is trying to not offend anyone.

Franken OTOH has quite a record as an admiral. I just saw that hatchet job ad on Franken that claims he was a Republican. If he was then now he is a great actor, because I believe what he says and what he says is generally very liberal. From what I have read he is genuine. My thoughts are that his career, his accomplishments and his stands will dwarf Ernst.

One more note - I hope Mauro is proud of doing Ernst's work for her. His attack strategy really, really makes me mad. If we had a normal campaign with live appearances I would jump at the chance to tell him that to his face. Quit tearing our candidates down.

Glad you asked I was wondering how folks here felt about this race.

Greenfield does have a big money advantage and a huge wad of endorsements, most of which came before Franken entered.
