2. Yup
And of all the one-on-one's I've seen today, it's the first time the talking head allowed the more rational person to have the last word.

3. I thought he did good. Certainly out talked the other guy
who could hardly get a word in edgewise...and put him in his place. However, neither one of them were great.

4. He Was Great Because He's So "In-Training" From The Factor
I thought he was particularly able to cite examples which creamed the right wing jerk he was up against...

5. He was very very good.
There was no levity in his response to Wolf's questions. He was superb. I don't know who that other person was but he made an ass of himself.

6. He was excellent and very sincere- not partisan, just factual and subdued

7. I concur
He took no joy in the evident failure of Bush's policies since he had personally met with some of the troops during a USO tour to Iraq several months ago.

8. Different Attitudes
That was the best part of his comments today. I know the Freepers won't see it the same way, but their talking head came off as shrill and full of bloodlust. I kept hearing echos of Arlo Guthrie yelling "kill...kill...KILLLLLLL.

Franken came off as far more sincere and thoughtful.
