Al Franken sacks his old “campaign manager”, brings in a new one.<\/p>\n

I don’t care if she can make Monkeys come out of Franken’s [rear exit]. Franken’s issue is his own dumbassness.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Brodkorb<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Hamline political science professor David Schultz is hardly more kind in assessing the state of the Franken campaign. \u2018Is this the classic putting lipstick on a pig?\u2019<\/span> he asks. \u2018Does Franken have fundamentally bigger problems that changing campaign managers won\u2019t solve?\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n

Schultz is struck by the static nature of the polls in recent weeks. \u2018Unless the Franken campaign can get a bunch of people to rethink Coleman and therefore rethink Franken the race is over<\/span>.\u2019\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Franken for Senate campaign became a little more traditional today with the announcement that Stephanie Schriock will become campaign manager in early June. To date, Franken’s campaign has not had a single person with the title of campaign manager…Franken campaign officials say the hiring of Schriock doesn’t signal any major changes in the organization but is a traditional step<\/strong> in preparing for the race against incumbent Norm Coleman. The hiring apparently assumes that Franken will win endorsement at the DFL convention, which is to be held June 6-8. \u2014 Doug Grow<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
“Nothing wrong here, folks. Pay no attention to the elephant behind the curtain”.Grow was a columnist for the Strib <\/em>– and, next to Lori Sturdevant, the most reliable DFL flak in the state – since the end of the Civil War.Hard to believe they’re covering the same story.
