Minnesota US Senate Results (Franken Picks Up 17 more votes!)
Minneapolis StarTribune (aka The Red Star) ^ | 11/10/08 | MplsSteve

Posted on 11/10/2008 8:21:21 AM PST by MplsSteve

After a weekend of no change, Monday morning brings another 17 "missing" or "uncounted" votes falling into Carpetbagger Al's column - and the full recount hasn't even f***ing started yet!

These amended numbers are coming from the various county auditors as they check ballots before submitting 'em to the Secretary of State for the full recount. At thispoint, I do not know what county these votes could have come from - but I suspect they're from a county that Barack Hussein Obama and Carpetbagger Al won.

I'll let you know when I hear more!

LOL, looks like the mods deleted the post!

Let’s just say as a Minnesotan, it described perfectly how I feel right now and about half the people in my state. With a few cuss words thrown in!

Where are they going to get 67 votes to change the rules?

I really hope they don’t steal this one. AK isn’t looking very good for us according to intrade. Chambliss is guaranteed to win. This seat may make or break us, because 41 seats just won’t be enough flexibility.

unless they think the govt. is a joke

Jesse Ventura's election proved that about a decade ago.

They can change cloture vote rules to say 55. It has been done before and will be sone again.

I made this argument on another post recently.

The Senate rules can be changed with a simple majority vote and I do not think Pelosi will have any compunction in doing so.

"Just 209 vote difference. And the Libertarian got almost 14 thousand, the Constitution candidate 8,900. Lots of wasted votes which could have gone to Coleman."

Those votes wouldn't be "wasted" if Republicans made themselves the Conservative Party choice and earned those votes. You can't be the party of competition, merit and excellence and then whine that the Democrat won because your voters chose a competitor.

I agree. Wasted was the wrong term, and like Joe Scarbough, sometimes I don’t use my 7 second delay. lol.

There are a few I wish I could get back as well. However I think we can all agree, the GOP wasted a huge opportunity, and those votes are the evidence.

I just posted a thread about the Indiana and North Carolina numbers—if the Barr votes had gone to Palin and the other guy the GOP would have taken both states.

“rising tide lifts all boats”

Economically speaking that is true. I imagine though that youre friend doesnt interpret that quote the way someone on our side might. I think “lifting all boats raises the tide” would better describe what our economically challenged friends on the left believe.
