A Day on the Trail

A few weeks ago, a Time magazine reporter followed Al for a day on the campaign trail. From his account of his day with Al Franken:
After the Rogers parade, Franken rides an hour to the Chisago County Democratic- Farmer-Labor Party BBQ, where he asks the jazz band of elderly men to play him in. In front of 50 people, he delivers his stump speech about how kids he meets in high schools cannot remember an America that is respected in the world. Then he jogs off to serve hot dogs. Standing nearby is Jim Oberstar, a Democrat in the House since 1975, who marvels at how hard Franken has worked the state.
