I normally don’t post political ads on the blog for commentary, but I have decided to break tradition in posting this new Al Franken ad which is set for statewide air time this week. I post it not because I am supporting Franken (which I am), but because I thought it was an exceptionally good bio ad for a nontraditional candidate like Franken. I posted about a week ago encouraging the Franken campaign to run something a lot like this (though it’s clear they were working on this long before I said anything). What do you think?
