Me and a friend of mine once started a rumor where we worked that there was a union organizer in the plant and he was trying to get a union started where we worked. Little did we know that it was actually true! We found out who he was and he came int to where we worked and to talk to our group. By then the rumor had been all around the plant and he was dumbfounded as to how it got around so fast.......

Frankin assumes he has friends in the senate.

The senate has to consider if they way to empower hollyweird so much that all the kook fringe actors and actresses suddenly think they are qualified to run to be their replacements in the senate.

Things looking bad for Franken in Minn.

Shouldn't this headline have read "Things looking good for Coleman in Minn?"

Count claimed to be 4,108 in favor of Franken (via the Secretary of State’s “incomplete and unofficial” tally, which showed 93.75 percent of precincts recounted as of 8 p.m. Monday), every vote counts.

What's with that ??

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD.

With the news of Mel Martinez retiring, Hussein making the left angry, and Chambliss winning Georgia (I hope), then December is off to a nice start.

They just ‘found’ 172 ‘uncounted’ ballots.

This reminds me so much of the 2004 governor's race in Washington State. Every day I would sit down to watch the local news and hear the anchor giddily tell us that more ballots had been "found". Always, these ballots were in favor of the Dem candidate. Never did the news anchor, or any of the reporters, voice any curiosity about where the ballots kept being "found".

Found by “helpful, civic-minded” ACORN volunteers?

There is a blurb on Drudge that says Franken “claims he trails by 50 votes”. Is that possible?

Why should the remaining U.S. Senate races still really matter politically, since the next U.S. Senate will also still have a handful of RINO’s, who often will vote with Democrats on a variety of issues, in it? D’s + RINO’s=more than 60 total votes on the leftist side of the next U.S. Senate.

Humphrey was a patriot compared the rest on you list.

I early voted for Chambliss a week ago and now have just been keeping my fingers crossed.

However, it does look like Martin is going to lose. The final Public Policy Poll (1,276 likely voters) has Chambliss with a 53 to 46% lead.

Here is an excerpt - Chambliss is up 71-28 on Jim Martin with whites. For Martin to win the runoff with that performance the electorate would have to be 34% African American. Given that it was only 30% for the general election with Obama at the top of the ballot and that early voting was less than 23% black, that does not seem particularly likely

Martin showed his desperation when he held a rally in Atlanta with that fool Ludacris. I think he has lost and HE KNOWS IT.
