58. Al Franken should still be in the Senate

Many Dems participated in that fiasco. Unfortunately for KG, she was the face attached to the political assassination. That's just how the cookie crumbled. This guy is gaining support and bringing people together from all angles. He's apologized. We need to win and gain as many seats as we can get.
