A filibuster would require 60 votes to break — a few more than Democrats currently hold in Washington.

Assuming the various RINOS (like those imbeciles from Maine) don't cross....

People who voted for Franken should not be allowed to vote, or drive, or operate machinery.

We’ll see. Senate ‘Pubbies are long on promises but extremely short on substance.

+49

You mean Freak’en Franken is only ahead by 49 dimwit votes? Keep counting, please. Why in the world would any body vote for that lunatic is beyond me. I don’t understand the people in Minn. Of course, in Louisiana we elected Willy Jefferson knowing he was a crook so anything can happen.

The American people are like ol’ Rhett Butler at this point when it comes to the Constitution.

Between McCain and Coleman, a lot of MN conservatives stayed home. If not for Palin, this wouldn’t even have been close.

Unbelievable. Some backbone from the GOP.

The less actual power they have, the better they act. ;)

Look at the bright side. The Dumbass Quotient in the
senate will increase only 1%.

Yes, finally. But, before that NOLA just kept re-electing him even though they knew he was crooked for a long time.

This whole Franken(stein) thing really ticks me off.

He came here because he know we were the only State where he would have a chance on winning because there’s so many “DFL’ers” here that would vote for a thug if he was on the ballot.....!!!

UH!

You won't believe this, but then again, it DOES figure......the state bird of Minnesota is the Common Loon.

Look it up, it's true.

The Common Folk of Minnesota must really feel a close relationship with their state bird.

Or rather, the loon must feel a close relationship with the state's common folk.
