MN-SEN: Al Franken Spending Money But Not Getting More Well-Liked

The graphic comes from this Brian Maloney story, which goes through how Franken has outraised Norm Coleman in the race for Coleman's Senate seat but has been burning through cash (in part because Franken still has a serious primary opponent, wealthy trial lawyer Mike Ciresi) to the point where Coleman has twice as much cash on hand, $5 million to $2.45 million.
The result:
Republicans gloated that while Franken burned more than $1 million in the second quarter, a recent Minnesota Poll gave him only a 27 percent favorable rating, compared with 52 percent for Coleman, who faces his first reelection test next year.
H/T HotAir. Coleman's is one of the Senate seats we need to hold in 2008; hopefully, he will get some help from this sort of bumbling by one of his potential opponents.

This is good news, though I’m not shocked.
Stuart Smalley isn’t good enough, smart enough, and people don’t like him.

I just don’t understand it. Franken is so photogenic. His voice isn’t at all shrill or nasal and certainly would be confidence-inspiring in a crisis.

I’ve been unsuccessfully trying to find a still of Franken online from his small role in “Trading Places” where he is cross-eyed and stoned out of his mind (which he acknowledged he took drugs during the filming) playing an Amtrak baggage handler.

Coleman retains his popularity numbers by diving toward the middle. Voted for SCHIP and publicly whined along with Amy Klobuchar (DFL) when President Bush vetoed it.

Oh, if Al Franken is the nominee, his film clips will give Norm Coleman a lot of free television commercials.
