Al Franken

MN-Sen (Map)

Norm Coleman continues to serve as a handmaiden to George Bush, voting with him 90% of the time. His support of Bush's Iraq war and his cynical compromises on issues like stem cells and ANWR demonstrate his taste for political opportunism over the interests of average Minnesotan families. Satirist and political commentator Al Franken is campaigning to hold him accountable. Al has also founded a political action committee, Midwest Values PAC, which raised over $1.1 million for Democrats across Minnesota and around the country. Minnesota is a blue state and Coleman is running with low approval ratings in a presidential year. This spells trouble for Republican efforts to hold this seat.

Jeff Merkley

OR-Sen (Map)

Gordon Smith is one of the most vulnerable Republicans in 2008. Smith stands with George Bush -- voting with him over 90% of the time -- and Democratic Oregon Speaker of the House Jeff Merkley is ready to hold him accountable. Democrats are prepared to hold Smith's feet to the fire for his staunch support of Bush's flawed Iraq policy.
