Among Democrats, Klobuchar and Franken are in demand

With nearly every step he took Wednesday morning in downtown Philadelphia, Sen. Al Franken inspired a mild frenzy. Democratic delegates from around the country continually approached him for handshakes or selfies, or simply shouted in his direction.

It sounds like this: Al! It’s Al Franken! Hi, Al! Give ’em hell, Al! Can I get a picture, Al? Al! Great speech, Al! Al! AAAAAAAL!

His fellow Minnesotan, Sen. Amy Klobuchar, tells a story: One time she got on a plane with Franken, and the excited flight attendant announced to the passengers they had a celebrity couple on board: Mr. and Mrs. Al Franken! That gets a laugh. When it was explained Klobuchar is actually Minnesota’s other senator, the flight attendant marvels that Minnesota has elected both Al Franken and his wife as senators.
