Franken Wins Senate Seat

Minnesota Senate Franken

MINNEAPOLIS (Reuters) – Democrat Al Franken will be declared the winner of the tight U.S. Senate contest in Minnesota, emerging from a ballot recount with a slim margin over Republican Norm Coleman, state officials said on Sunday.http://wjnoblog.com/wp-admin/post-new.php

But Coleman, the incumbent, has asked Minnesota’s supreme court to require that a few hundred additional absentee ballots be included in the recount — and he could then ask the court to investigate the contest all over again.

“At the moment, Franken has a 225-vote lead,” after the weekend counting of what were deemed the last uncounted absentee ballots, said Minnesota Secretary of State Mark Ritchie, a Democrat who oversaw the process.

The official announcement will come later today… but, trust me, this one’s over.

Caroline’s not far behind…

    Oh, we do!
    because he’s good enough and smart enough, unlike that neanderthal Coleman

    Partisanship aside, I honestly can’t see what people see in him, but whatever…I guess if “Gopher” can be a Congressman, anything is fair game.
