Al Franken gave Lorne Michaels the idea, and Seth Meyers called him to discuss it, but Franken did not write the skit or write parts of the skit. He inspired it, essentially. I'm not sure we can expect Franken to cut off all interaction with anyone who might run with something he happens to think up.
In the most recent Rasmussen poll, Coleman has 48 percent to Franken's 47 percent, in other words it's a dead heat -- with Dean Barkley showing at 3 percent. Even in polls where Barkley scores in double digits, Franken and Coleman are running neck and neck. So my question is, why do you consider this to be hurting FRANKEN's chances. Looks like it could be hurting either candidate or both of them. Or neither of them, for that matter.
