The GOPers comments about the recount are idiotic to say the least. Let the voters intent win the argument (AS LONG AS IT’S A VOTE FOR THE R) !! I like the idea of a handcount where the difference separating the candidates is less than the 1/2 of 1 percent. We are seeing equiptment that did not work 100 percent and other problems which would give a do very little Senator another term despite perhaps not getting the most votes. Perhaps if Coleman had done a better job in his first term, we would not be here !
Saying Senator Franken will not hurt a bit. I wonder if Chambliss will survive his runoff with his job intact ???? What a turn of events if the Democrats make 60 !!!

“Perhaps" ...
If MiniSota didn’t have 3 political parties, this wouldn’t even be an issue.
“Perhaps" ...
If MiniSotans didn’t have a habit of voting for lunatics like Jesse Ventura and Al Franken, things would be a little different.
And “Perhaps” ...
If YOU had the ability to discern class from crass, you’d see the light.
It is debatable what effect the 3rd party had in this race. It gets sad when the few races where the R’s are fervently pulling for their Senators are for extremely poor ones. What has Coleman done to suggest he is the better man than Franken ??? Who could possibly support Chambliss after his Cleland smears ???? I’d say it would be better for the R’s to lose those 2, then work on getting some quality candidates for 2010 !
What does President Elect Obama have to do with this Post ??? As far as Franken’s book goes - there have been many times the Right as well as the Left has been very fast and loose with the facts. I sort of enjoy the faux authors from both ends of the Political spectrum getting their commupence from their fast and loose respect of the truth.

Wow, the newbie Leftists squirrels are out in force this week here. Got any extra nuts?
You Democrats for years made a big deal about how Al Gore, who would have never needed to win Florida in 2000 if he had simply been able to win his own home state, was the “popular vote winner” nationally. Yet when you look at the actual vote totals, he only “won” by that same 1/2 of 1 percent figure.
Would you have supported a nationwide vote recount in that race? Naw, I didn’t think so.

All one has to do is to actually listen to Franken for about 5 minutes. Franken is a hateful, crass, classless, profane, and abusive tax-evader who has done nothing in his life except being a singularly un-funny comedian. What has he done that suggests that he should be a Senator? He has no legislative record. He only has his words, and they are singularly unimpressive, except when he gets to profanity. This he knows very well. That does not recommend him highly. The typical local dog-catcher would be a better choice than Al Franken. So when you ask that Coleman defend his record against Franken, you ignore that it is Franken who is the challenger, who must demonstrate that he is the better choice - and what he has as a record is pitiful and classless.
