Minnesota Recount: Team Franken glad their supporters are uneducated?

This has to be a first. In explaining why he believes Al Franken will prevail in the recount, a lawyer volunteering for Team Franken says that Franken voters are less educated and therefore more ignorant about how to fill in a bubble on a ballot. No, I’m not kidding:

[popdonnelly]

The lawyer is correct.

[AU72]

True, Ralph Nader got 77,000 votes in Florida in 2000.

I am done with Tim Pawlenty after this. I’ve never seen such incompetence in my life. Except for Boehner, I couldn’t imagine anybody would be so incompetent so as to let a comedian steal a US Senate seat without so much as a fight.

Who gets the other Senate seat, Carrot Top? Tim Pawlenty is Yosemite Sam.

[WOBBLY BOB]

Norm is down to a 157 vote lead now as of 330 central time

[Argus]

Several generations of state schooling pay off for the Dems.

[stubernx98]

I am rooting for Franken. He is aposter boy for the Democrats and their followers.

[carikadon]

Dumb and Dumber

[null and void]

Less than one car trunk away...

Watching Franken and crew try to steal this seat is a nightmare. I just hope Coleman has lawyered up as much as possible. He’s gonna need them.

[Joe Boucher]

Come on Kid,
ya didn’t have to tell us franken supporters are dumb asses.

[StAnDeliver]

"I am rooting for Franken. He is a poster boy for the Democrats and their followers."

It will be a Six-Year "Wellstone Moment". Six years. He might even be the 60th vote. We'll be rolling in the clover two years from today.

[DejaJude]

Did the Franken voters get their sticker, I Voted Today as a Useful Idiot?

[WOBBLY BOB]

six years from now it will still be 'Bush's fault'!

[Sig Sauer P220]

The uneducated vote is what gave us hussein.

[nufsed]

Thank God! or Gore would have won.

[Aevery_Freeman]

As a very conservative Minnesotan, I almost hope Franken wins. I doubt he will be an effective Senator and our Senate delegation could rightfully be called the Insane Clown Posse

[hawgwalker]

Can’t say that I am rooting for Franken but any candidate that could let Stuart Smalley get this close deserves to loose

[petercooper]

bttt

[Reaganesque]

Hey, Murtha called his constituents “hicks” and “racists” but they still elected him.

A fact that I will never understand. As a born and bred Pennsylvanian this was truly shocking.

[scrabblehack]

If the counters are allowed to count nonvotes as votes for Franken then I don’t see how Franken can lose.

[Eagle Eye]

I know what I’d think if Palin said something like that.
