What does he hope to gain by these legal challenges? The time for him to have unleashed his legal team would have been DURING the voting process like Frankenstein.

I see that Tedisco has not made the same mistake and has been really on top of things in NY.

Donning my flame suit...
OK then, I feel safe now.

It hasn’t been said often enough that if Sen Coleman, in the aftermath of his scandal, had not been so arrogant as to put himself and his personal ambition over the good of the nation, and the party for that matter, we would not now be in this position. He never should have run.

I do not excuse chicanery of the democrats - I simply state that it is a known quantity, and there are other qualified candidates in MN for whom this election would not have even been close.

You dont mean to say only government workers voted for Franken, do you? Either way, Im quite happy with my decision as I was happy to fire a handful of Obama voters December 1st of last year. Funny how I havent had a problem with the cash register coming up short and other employee thievery since.

You need to let those Vermonters know why you aren’t doing business with them.

You have a point. Next time they call I’ll advise them to call Pat Leahy for their next order. Or maybe they can sell their overpriced cr@p to Benn & Jerry.

No, there were also the unemployed ACORN volunteers.

04.07.09: Minnesota Public Radio Audio
MN Secretary of State Mark "Former? Communist and Soro's Puppet" Ritchie
talkes about recount decision
.

Democrat Al Franken's lead in the U.S. Senate election has increased to 312 votes. Election officials added the results of 351 improperly rejected votes to the overall count today and now the three-judge panel presiding over the election challenge will focus on other issues raised by Republican Norm Coleman. To talk more about the effects of the recount today on the election in general we interviewed Secretary of State Mark Ritchie.

Thanks for the summary. At a distance (VA) it is clear that Coleman had to be quite a loser. My impression of a lot of US Senators.

It is the reason that the Republicans are losers - nothing to say. Although how many many people are waiting for someone to stand up for what they once meant?

I believe there was a 3rd party candidate in the race who took 13% or so of the vote...in every state where this happens, we lose,.....and those DFL’ers in Minnesota are NUTTY.
