Great Franken ad turns race back to issues

Despite all of his negative ads and attempts to change the subject, Norm "W" Coleman is going to have to debate the issues sometime. Now, Franken has responded to Norm's negativity with a great ad that expresses remorse for some of his past jokes, and then steers the conversation back to the issues.

From the script:

I'm not proud of every joke I've ever told, but I know there's a difference between what you say as a comedian and what you do as a U.S. Senator. Norm Coleman has supported George Bush's war on Iraq, and he's taking millions from big oil and special interests. Unfortunately, that's no joke.

Last week, I wrote that Franken's new communications director had to do three things:

1. Institute a "zero-tolerance policy" against Norm Coleman's attacks.
   
2. Re-introduce Al to Minnesotans.
   
3. Relentlessly turn the conversation to the issues, where Coleman is the most vulnerable.

I think this ad accomplishes at least two of those goals, if not all three. Bravo to Team Franken for turning things around!

Here's the ad:
