My wife's birthday comes up next on the calendar before mine, so she was the one able to take questions from Quinnipiac during their recent Washington Post/Wall Street Journal poll. Apparently that's how they assure a random sampling. As much as I would have loved the chance to voice my opinion, what matters most is the outcome:

Obama up by 11 pts. in Minnesota.

I've been fortunate enough to have several radio appearances to promote my new book coming out this week, and one of those appearances coming up will be on the local coverage of All Things Considered on Minnesota Public Radio. They've suggested that, in addition to talking about how my book Teaching in Circles explores a love/hate relationship with the teaching profession, that I should be prepared to offer my viewpoints on various candidates and their positions on education issues. I have my own thoughts on this and would welcome feedback and insight from others.

It's been an intense summer and fall in Minnesota, as Republican incumbent Norm Coleman tries to use everything he can come up with to fend off Democratic challenger Al Franken. Given Franken's past as a satirist for SNL and as an author of many sharp books criticizing conservatives, Republicans in general have been trying to dig up anything close to a character flaw in Franken and hope the old technique of repeated distortions becoming accepted truth will stick.

Here's the good news, according to today's Minneapolis Star Tribune:

DFL U.S. Senate candidate Al Franken has moved into his first solid lead over incumbent Republican Norm Coleman, according to a new Star Tribune Minnesota Poll.

The survey, conducted Tuesday through Thursday by Princeton Survey Research Associates International among 1,084 likely Minnesota voters, shows Franken leading Coleman 43 to 34 percent.
