...Olympic event, Franken would win. If it were a battle of wills or a name-recognition poll or some kind of nerdy trivia battle, he'd win those too. Even if it were just a question of having people agree with your policies, he'd win a Senate seat in the state, where Barack Obama is ahead of John McCain. But getting elected means making people believe you can relate to them, and that's why Franken - writer, actor, comedian, talk-show host and longtime denizen of Saturday Night Live - is running behind Republican Senator Norm Coleman...

Indeed, the only glitch came later on the medal stand, during the playing of the Star-Spangled Banner, which cut off a few seconds before the end.
