MN-SEN: Al Franken Leaves Air America

Al Franken announced today that he intends to leave Air America Radio and will give "serious consideration" to running for US Senate in his home state of Minnesota.  He thanked his 1.5 million listeners and expressed optimism for the future of Air America, following its purchase by the Green brothers, Mark, former NYC Public Advocate, and Stephen, a leading real estate developer. 

Al promised to make a decision on challenging Republican Norm Coleman soon, and hinted that he might announce on or before his final show on February 14th.
