unfortunately Coleman doesn’t even come close .. he is a Rino’s Rino

Yes, but in the Senate we are going to need every 'R' we can get.

Well, perhaps the RNC being held in Minneapolis accomplished something after all..

If Republicans are wise, they’ll learn about how RATS steal elections. RATs love close ones. This one will be easy for them. They have to destroy only a few Coleman votes and manufacture a few Franken votes. This Democrat lawyer tell us how they do it. http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=17718

Who is this Barley dude? Did he run as a conservtive? I despise these so-called "third party" candidates. They are getting RATS elected. Shame on all of them and whoever votes for them.

Now if you vote greenie, that's a good thing.

And thar is why we are where we are this moning .... for 20 years we have been stockpiling Rino’s ... including two compassionate consevative (damn if I ever hear that term again I’m gonna puke) moderates by the nameof bush ...

Like the results??

Nope ... me neither.

Name me 5 conservative senators. Real constitutional statesmen with a spine, you will have a hard time ... As much as I like Mconnell from KY he has had his great moments of going wobbly where a bit of backbone would have prevailed. That being said .. He still gets my vote as a real conservative and probably the strongest we have.

Barkley is an independant- started running during
the Ross Perot independant party- managed Jesse
the “body” campaign- and was seated as U.S. senator
after Wellstone died.I think as people go he is O.K.
But I believe he pulled votes away from Norm.

Franken is an out an out LEFTIST- but who in the Demon
party isn’t these days?. We are soooo screwed if our schools
and newspapers do not teach the constitution.

My spirits are so heavy today. This is a nice break from my melancholy. Congratulations Norm. Can’t wait to hear Franken’s concession speech (not).

In the upper Midwest, each state tries to elect a more loathesome, ridiculous senator than their neighbor.

The senators in Michigan are reprehensible apes. Had Minnesota elected Franken, that state might have taken title as “The Most Idiot State of the Midwest.” But MI still rules.
