From Al Franken's Facebook Page

It was wonderful to see Hillary in Wisconsin last night. I remember in 2008 when we started realizing how close my election was going to be. Hillary called and said she'd do anything to help. She ripped up her schedule and came to Minnesota in the last few months of the campaign. Twice. She never wavered in her support, and I know as President she won't waver in furthering our progressive values. She stood by me when I ran for the U.S. Senate, and I'm proud to be standing with her today. We need someone who can get the job done, and Hillary Clinton is the woman for the job.

He has never lifted a finger to help anyone else!
Hillary campaigned for Elizabeth Warren too, and really helped her get elected.

Hillary even campaigned for Obama after he won the nomination.

Where was Bernie?

He is clearly not going to win the nomination, and staying in just divides more people each day. Why would any loyal Democrat do that?

I recall in one of his books he sketched a diagram of a 90s White House touch football match in which one of the groups depicted was the "Diabolical Rodhamites." Which book was that?

her homework on Republicans and which closets they hide their skeletons. She will get things done as Madame President! Count on it.

Bernie? Not so much. He'll make a fiery speech and be too busy being in front of cameras and mics to do the hard work of a president. Can't count on him for nuthin'.

The Bernistinians don't understand that there's more to party building than bullying caucuses.

Hillary was awesome. Warm and genuine, and made a point of knowing all the local races and supporting all the Dems on the ticket. I was a (mild) supporter of Obama, and I was blown away by how gracious and high-spirited Hillary was, doing her damnedest for local Dems when she didn't particularly have to. (And oh yeah, Al was awesome and funny. )
