For those of you wondering what Al’s wife Franni has been up to, not only has she been busy with Women for Franken events, but she also spent Saturday visiting DFL offices in Central and Western Minnesota.
From the Hutchinson Leader:

On Saturday, Sept. 6, Franni Franken made a personal appearance at the new McLeod County DFL office on Main Street in downtown Hutchinson. The crowd filled the small space and overflowed onto the sidewalk.

Franni was on the stump for her husband, Al Franken, who is running as the Democratic candidate for the United States Senate representing Minnesota. He is challenging incumbent Sen. Norm Coleman.

According to Paul Wright, chairman of the 7th Congressional District’s DFL Party, it’s been at least 30 years since the Democrats had an office on Main Street.

“We have more money, more people and more interest than ever before,” he said. “It’s a great time to be a Democrat.”
