Al Franken spoke on the steps of the State Capitol to around 500 to 600 supporters today. Despite the overcast sky, U2's "Beautiful Day" blared over the speakers and perfectly summarized what today is like for DFLers across the state.
Norm Coleman is vanquished and we finally have a Democrat back in the seat that Paul Wellstone held.
Rep. Betty McCollum, Rep. Keith Ellison and DFL Party Chair Brian Melendez warmed up the crowd. Franni Franken introduced Sen. Amy Klobuchar who introduced Al.
More pictures after the break. Plus I hope to get my hands on the transcript of Al's speech. |
