Harry Reid introduces Senator-Elect Al Franken for his first Senate press conference, quoting former Republican Congressman Vin Weber as saying Franken's detractors will be "pleasantly surprised" to find he "is a smart guy who's serious about issues and a hard worker." Franken reiterates that he is the second senator from Minnesota, not the magic sixtieth vote in the Senate. Hopefully, he's both.
"I am going to work day and night to make sure that our kids have a great future, and that America's best days lay ahead. I'm ready to get to work."
