I agree. Dems think elections are held so they know how many votes they need to manufacture on “recount”
That isn't true. He has gained votes in some counties and lost in others. But he has lost more than he has gained.
Look at this table in the paper whose article is posted here. It is as of 6:44 pm this evening and shows Colemans lead up to 181 votes.
In case it doesn't work copy and past this url.

Now let me try to link again.
Actually, in some polling today/yesterday, Coleman netted positive votes, something like 40 for Franklen, 58 for Coleman.
I think Norm is going to hang on and well he should because I think some AF votes look dubious already.
Maybe as some have said, this goes to Court no matter what, but Norm won it!
Thank God it looks like that asshat Franken is going to lose.

Actually Coleman's lead was down to 115 and is now up to 181 so he gained 66 votes.
There's about one third of the votes yet to recount and close to 2,000 disputed votes.
The disputed votes could end up deciding this thing.
Ahhhh... I think you might mean JOSEPH and Mary. Let's not start any rumors now...!
How’s that electric car coming along?
Today was a very good day for Coleman. Your bet is looking better than mine right now.
Coleman seems to be making many more challenges now, though. I suspect he’s trying to make sure that there’s never a point during the recount where he slips below Coleman.
Big psychological/political barrier to overcome if Franken goes up by even one vote at any point during the recount, so Coleman is smart to do this.
My new over/under is 110. You still taking the over?
If you look at the county totals, coleman gained in some, franken in others. The net has favored franken, but it’s just not true that Coleman never gained vis-a-vis franken. The state site and the newspapers have the county figures, and even a complete spreadsheet for every precinct.
They're counting the lost, double-secret ballots cast by dead people, which were for Frankin by 150%.
RE: 39, I really hate these basards.
oops.....
Yet another installment of “Count Until The Democrat’s Ahead.”
I may not be as objective as I should be but what does it say about Al Franken that he is determined to win at all costs, even if it means that he has to cheat to win. If there is an erosion of values in America it can be found in this concept whether it be a sporting event, the elimination process on a reality show or a political contest. It begs the question: Are political scruples in the 21st century dead?
It’s back up to + 180 for Coleman after Saturday’s work. The remaining counties look good for Coleman. I think he will still be ahead after the recount. Then they will fight over rejected absentee ballots and after that court battles.
I wonder what happened when franken gained 200+ on the 1st day?
Also is there a pluralty vs majority issue here for the dem?
the electric car is coming.
bush sucks.
