Steve Carlson is the Independence Nominee for U.S. Senator, facing Al Franken November 4. After the Minnesota Vikings announced Adrian Peterson would play, these two DFL'ers who want to be re-elected attacked the Viking decision, forcing the Vikings to "get it right" and suspend Peterson indefinitely with pay. Carlson explains that Franken and Dayton "got it wrong" not the Vikings. Carlson carefully distinguishes between a parent doing what is right and violence against persons.
