Our Next President

A guy I know who sells bumper-stickers on the 'net has decided that it's time for forgive Al Franken and run him for President. Here's the problem. Franken was kicked to the side because he was in the habit of goosing women while they were on camera. (He badly needed to have his face slapped, on camera, but America's women have lost the reaction that would have humiliated Franken in public.)

So Franken lost his job, the wrong punishment (not sufficiently humiliating). He's available. It's now time to forgive the man, but he will need a running mate who can add to the Democratic vote and who has impeccable credentials when it comes to sexist behavior. This guy I know has suggested Jill Stein. He argues that  the Democrats can't lose with a Franken-Stein ticket. He may be right.
