It boggles the mind to think about what sorts of books Al Franken will be able to write after a stint in the U.S. Senate. The author of five New York Times bestselling books, including "Rush Limbaugh Is a Big Fat Idiot and Other Observations," is all but assured of being declared the winner in the Minnesota senatorial race now that the recount is officially over. What are some potential Franken titles you can come up with?
Dole v. Hagan: Hear them roar
Submitted by bwheeler on 10/17/2008 - 08:34
Both U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Dole and State Sen. Kay Hagan have met with the editorial board now in anticipation of our coming endorsement. The N&O's multimedia team attended both meetings and has put together some snippets. 
To hear Kay Hagan talk about how she would have worked harder to find an immigration compromise, how Dole was basically useless as a banking committee member and how the Iraq war has not made us safer, go here.
To see Elizabeth Dole talk about how her go-with-Bush rate is more like 55 percent, how the country missed an opportunity in 1986 to fix immigration and what she thinks should happen in Iraq, go here.
