It turns out Michelle Obama isn't the only notable Democrat to pay a visit to notoriously liberal Macalester College in St. Paul during an election season.
Tomorrow, Macalester Democrats co-chairman Alex Rosselli told me, Martin Sheen (who plays a fictional politician on "The West Wing) will be at an on-campus ballroom to stump for U.S. Senate candidate, and ardent DFLer, Al Franken.

Unfortunately for Kerry, none of the famous Sheen/Estevez clan spoke on his behalf. Maybe this means Franken's got it in the bag.
