Franken takes the lead in Minnesota
The Hill ^ | 12/19/08 | Michael O'Brien

For the first time since Election Day, Democrat Al Franken is ahead of incumbent Norm Coleman (R) in Minnesota’s still-undecided Senate race.

According to a tally by the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, Franken has taken the lead as the state’s Board of Canvassers continues to review ballots challenged by both campaigns during the state's hand recount.

This is 1 of the reasons I stopped giving to the RNC.

When I heard the news this morning I got physically ill. I wanted to vomit, the thought of Franken in the Senate, is just as scary as Obama in the White House. This just proves if you cheat, you will get away with it as long as your a liberal Democrat

What can Coleman do in this case? Go the Supreme Court which would not even hear the case?

I cannot believe how stupid - with apologies to any unfortunate Minnesota Freepers - people must be in that state. This is truly an unconscionable, demented thing they have done, putting a POS like Al Franken in the US Senate. Although, he really is not much different from other democrat POS like former US Capitol Police Officer Harry Reid, and so forth.

You’re right, they finally got the answer they were looking for. Time for everyone to call it an election.

Shaking my head, thinking about our country...

I actually called Coleman’s office this morning to tell them how outraged I was at what was going on. I know this does no good most likely, but I think they need to hear that people are watching.

Anyway, the lady in his office said that the only thing that can be done at this point is to give to the MN recount fund at 651-645-0766.

This whole situation is incredible.

Rum helps.

Can you imagine Franken at the State of the Union, barefoot with his legs up on the chair in front of him, crackin jokes with Caroline and letting out a “hee haw” from time to time. The Senate has gone comedian, and not in a good way.

If Franken wins, it would be a case study in why we desperately need to limit those who should be allowed to vote. Maybe at a minimum, your IQ should be a higher number than your age.

Me too, SB.

For Franken, (who could play himself as a reptilian villain in a Batman film) so obviously to steal an election in broad daylight makes the wholesale corruption by DEMOCRATS of free elections that much more of an expected occurrence.

Democrats (and Marxists) hate free people, they hate our fine Country, and they fear and hate free elections.

Suprise, suprise. So much for honest and fair US elections.

The idea is to keep jacking around until you win.

My best guess, the GOP will roll over like a dead cockroach!

I think they should continue the recount until Franken is the President-Elect!
