You think think they cheated?

No. What was your first clue?

And unless Franken is going to be thrown out of office or some other serious punishment is going to be dealt out this is nothing more than an interesting story.

oldie ,but a goodie:

Accountants: Franken’s tax problems should have been caught
http://minnesota.publicradio.org/display/web/2008/05/01/accountants/
Al Franken’s accountant hasn’t talked to reporters since Franken blamed him for giving him bad tax advice. But tax experts say the accountant should have known that Franken, who is seeking the DFL endorsement to run against GOP Sen. Norm Coleman, needed to pay taxes in the 19 different states where Franken earned money in the last four years.
Minnesota Public Radio News contacted 60 local accountants, and heard back from a dozen of them. They all said Franken is ultimately responsible for making sure he pays taxes in the right states.
Failed comedian, a failed movie actor and a failed radio host. Franken and Air America stole money appropriated for poor children and were never held responsible.

As disgusting as the fact that the Dems stole this one right in front of everyone is the fact that the GOP stood by and let them.

And they (the national repubbies) never said anything effectively to the press. Would the press have responded and printed it (given it airtime)? Probably not. But the words need to be said. THEN - the national party would be required to use the money we sent to DC to print the ads telling off the national media.

Who to blame? Start with Steele. Coleman. The rest of the natinoal senators who prefer “get along” politics.

A good number of lefty votes went to Dean Barkley, instead of Al Franken. Barkley is no conservative, more Minnesota bland left versus the hard left of Franken. Still, some hard left votes went for Barkley because they could not stand Franken, whom they consider an unfunny arrogant boor. I hear the same about Garrison Keillor.
