If an election is a blow out, rules are irrelevant. Rules really only mean anything when the election is close.

All they have to do is apply the rules in place LONG before this election ever came to pass. If they do, Coleman wins by about 800.

Since this election was close, Mark Ritchie took advantage of it to make Minnesota into Cook County North by tossing out the rules for a close election.

It's sad to be defending Norm Coleman who is a soulless bucket of scum and would sell his grandmother into octogenarian prostitution for one additional vote. Still, there we are.

In a just world, as long as rules no longer apply, this case would languish in the courts for up to six years, and we can hold another election for this seat.

I've been an election judge for four major elections. This election taught me that all election judges, unless they are unemployed, are chumps. If we are to toss the law for close elections, we don't need election judges. I won't waste another such day. So, I guess something good did come ofthe last election.

I think you’re being a little hard on Norm Coleman, don’t you?

He’d have to stick a finger in the wind (or check with his pollsters) first before deciding whether to sell his mother into prostitution.

In 2007 Coleman voted to stop the amnesty, a bill that would have ended the US as we know it. That's better than a bunch of other so-called GOP members did. He's a also a vote that the party needs to caucus with to stop democrat idiocy. At this point he needs all the support he can get since he's obviously being sandbagged, which even you acknowledge.
