Franken wanders off topic, is occaisionally mush-mouthed, sometimes seems to end up confused and confusing to his audience.

Franken’s grasp of the subject matter seems to be limited as opposed to his rival, Pallmeyer. Pallmeyer could give Coleman a real run for his money in a debate.

And then there are the millions of words written and spoken by Franken in his career. A smart politician like Coleman will have Franken spending at least half of the time in any debate saying, “That’s not how I meant that…” over and over. Not a good way to win a debate.

Many of his supporters have never hear him in a debate. Find a recording of one and listen. Now realize that in the general election there will be a hostile atmosphere with intense pressure–can Franken effectively present his own views?

With Franken, the outside money issue against Coleman is unwinnable.

With Franken, the “Hollywood” money becomes an issue.

With Franken, there will be the “carpetbagger” issue.

With Franken, his initiall Iraq war support negates that issue to some degree against Coleman.

I would advise any Franken supporter to spend a couple hours researching Pallmeyer and his positions. You will find a more articulate, “cleaner” candidate that has fewer loose threads for Coleman to pull on.

You can fill in the blanks.

And when you consider that just under half of their population is under the age of 15, your lack of compassion is utterly galling, if unsurprising.
