It's been frustrating watching the GOP pummel O2B candidate Al Franken with little response the past few months. There's an old-school view among consultants that you raise money until Labor Day, then you truly launch your campaign.

Al Franken drawing a map of the United States during a fundraiser . I'll say it: I love this guy. And ya know what? The national coverage of the Franken campaign has been surprisingly sparse (here's that strange Observer angle ). But it's a fascinating thing to watch, even from afar.
