A ballot that Al Franken says does not clearly indicate the voter's choice.

What a long, strange trip it's been!

... U.S. Senate hopeful Al Franken's inability to provide workers compensation for his employees brought to light Franken's failure to receive twelve (or more) missing pieces of mail delivered to his NY residence.

Even more peculiar, however, is the certified mail receipt signed by "J. Gauthier", Franken's doorman.  Following much speculation, it is now clear that Gauthier was indeed Franken's doorman.  However, when confronted with receipts -- Gauthier shockingly responded that the signature that appears on the mail receipt is not his!

Which raises the question:  Why would anyone on Team Franken forge Gauthiers signature?

... The mystery is unsolved, and this campaign just keeps getting weirder and weirder.

The NRSC's new website, Frankly Franken just posted their latest YouTube video press release on "Hollywood" Al Franken.  The site also includes a clock, beginning when Franken's New York problems first surfaced.  The question remains:  Will Al Franken ever take address the questions about his business issues in New York and California?  

"The round of negative stories about Al Franken's failure to properly pay business taxes in all the states he was active now appears to be damaging him and endangering his effort to oust Senator Norm Coleman (R-MN), a new poll finds.

The latest numbers from Rasmussen, compared to last month:

Coleman (R) 50% ( 2)
Franken (D) 43% (-3)

National Democrats have viewed this seat as a top pickup opportunity, but unless Franken can figure out a way to deal with his travails, the bad publicity hitting him may cause Dems to squander the chance to oust one of the GOP's most vulnerable incumbents."

Maybe lying to voters isn't a good campaign strategy???
