Lord Faris, part of a well-regarded family in state Democratic politics, criticized Franken for "angry and offensive public behavior" and said he'd be too easy a target for Coleman and his allies.

With 18 percent of precincts reporting, Franken had 70 percent of the vote to Lord Faris' 27 percent.
