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.

If Franken wins this, it will prove that this whole election was just a joke.

So we're not wasting our votes as long as we're voting for the guy who can most likely beat the worst guy?

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.
