Frannie Franken has been forthright about her early life experience, see, e.g., <A HREF="http://blog.alfranken.com/2008/08/14/franni-franken-on-the-anniversary-of-social-security/" REL="nofollow">here</A>.<BR/>. <BR/><BR/>I see no insincerity or posturing in it. None. It looks fully legit to me. I think that the nature of negative campaigning having recently proven successful is in the way of the Frankens getting a quite positive message out about real family issues and concerns. The press and others in the political process have hijacked the opportunity, but there is time between now and November. My perception is their hearts are behind what they express, both of them, Al and Frannie.eric zaetschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17678223934280297732noreply@blogger.com
