Al Franken elected

Just goes to show that anyone can get elected to Congress.

Just as GW showed us anyone can be elected President

And we know the recount had to be accurate since Coleman started with a 2000 lead and got no votes during recount. Yeah, good call.

Oh it's not over yet. Colemans people are also looking in trunks of cars w/ Minnesota plates for the extra and missing Coleman votes. Plus there are all those pesky legal challenges.

thanks for proving the exact point of why there was a recount in the first place. that and the fact that coleman was so adamant about NOT having a recount..but only now, wanting it to go on.

quote:

"It's up to him whether such a step is worth the tax dollars it will take to conduct," Coleman said, telling reporters he would "step back" if he were in Franken's position.

quote:

Now we turn to the 1,346 absentee ballots that were identified by election officials as improperly rejected. The two campaigns must agree that a ballot was wrongfully discarded before it can be counted — and GOP Sen. Norm Coleman’s campaign is not making that easy.

The Franken team has agreed that all 1,346 ballots should be counted. But the Coleman camp is recommending the inclusion of just 778 of these ballots, as well as 67 ballots that were not flagged by election officials as improperly rejected.

and my favorite...

quote:

One of the votes in the Minnesota Senate race was challenged by the Coleman campaign because the voter had written the following on the ballot (along with his vote for Franken):

Thank you for counting my vote!

Do you think the other 99 amateur buffoons in the senate will be intimidated by the election of a professional idiot? Ah yes, change. In Florida we are thinking of sending Carrot Top and Larry the Cable Guy to D.C. in the next election. I hope Texas elects Ron White and Georgia sends Jeff Foxworthy.

Yea!!! If he's half as sucsessful in the senate as he was on Air America then the good ole USA is saved!

This election stinks of Soros and the spirit of Tammany Hall. At least 25 precincts have reported more ballots than there are registered voters.

Then, there's the Hennepin County (Minneapolis) precinct which "lost" 133 votes. The hand recount showed fewer ballots than machine votes recorded on election night. Though there is no proof to this missing vote charge -- officials may have accidentally run the ballots through the machine twice on election night -- the Canvassing Board chose to go with the election night machine total, rather than the actual number of ballots in the recount. That decision gave Mr. Franken a gain of 46 votes. Where are the missing ballots -- in the car truck of crony of Mayor Daley's, perhaps?

quote:

Strange things keep happening in Minnesota, where the disputed recount in the Senate race between Norm Coleman and Al Franken may be nearing a dubious outcome. Thanks to the machinations of Democratic Secretary of State Mark Ritchie and a meek state Canvassing Board, Mr. Franken may emerge as an illegitimate victor.

The reasons to expand my garden and to invest in more powder, primers, and projectiles keep on growing.

Actually, Larry the Cable Guy may actually increase the average IQ of the Senate.

Significantly.

Franken is like obuma. He can’t get the office he seeks without fraud.

Franken still doesn't have a certificate listing him as winning, and Coleman has indicated he will file suit to keep it that way.

When Coleman was about 400 votes ahead he suggested that Franken do the "right thing" and concede. Now that he is a few hundred behind, he has changed his tune and is filing a lawsuit.
Another hypocrite exposed.
I haven't really kept up with him or his record, but he must have really done something bad to piss off a little over half the voters in his state enough to vote for a comedian .

EXCELMAN,

Coleman has examples of precincts whose machine counts are more than the existing ballots. I realize you've stated you will post what you like, whether its true, or not!

Look for a boost in sales of Franken's great little book, "Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot." Go, Big AL!!!!
