The presidential election isn't the only hot and heated race going on in Minnesota this fall. The senate race between incumbent Norm Coleman and DFL candidate Al Franken is stealing some of the national spotlight in Minnesota, and it doesn't seem to be focusing on the issues either. According to the Star Tribune a recent Coleman ad showed the senators' face for only 2-3 seconds instead of the 4 seconds required to qualify for discounted ad time.
The Coleman camp says the issue has been tweaked, but if forced to pay the higher ad rate the campaign would need to cough up more than $1 million.
The drama between this duos back-and-forth is surely catching the attention senate elections rarely do, and might help spur turnout in November.
