Too close for comfort.

There’s only around 200,000 to 250,000 votes left to be counted, a dwindling pool left for Franken to make up the difference.
If the senate is close, the dems lawyers will go after and recount until they win. Remember how they stole Washington from Rossi?
I remember when Bush won FL in 2000. A friend, who was in a place to know, told me exactly what would happen. Bush’s lead at the time was in the thousands. She told me the dems would be pulling hidden votes out of closets and that by morning it would be down in the hundreds, if not passed.
She told me, this is the way they work.
Believe me, if Norm Coleman is the last Bulwark against total transformation into socialism, he’ll go down.
Tough to see this changing that much. Margin for Coleman is holding stead. Still way closer then it should be
There’s another Senate nail-bier going on right now: In OR, Republican Gordan Smith v. Democrat Merkley.
Right now at 47% counted, the 2 are just a few thousand apart.

The big question is where are the outstanding votes from? Liberal areas always report last.
This is great news. Not only do we need Coleman’s seat, but I think he could be a real leader for us in the Senate. I just hope he didn’t make some faustian bargain with Red Star Tribune to get their endorsement...

Only around 3,600 difference...looks like automatic recount territory.
Don’t know where you are getting your numbers but they are fiction. Colemn is up 16000+

You’re a bit excitable. It does look like your source is about 2 minutes ahead of minute; doesn’t make mine fiction.
hope you’re right.
don’t know how you’re so certain ... ABC has the lead back down to 500 votes with each candidate getting over 1.33MM.
94.26% reporting, Coleman by 11,000 votes
Because I am looking at the official State of Minnesota vote count tally’s at the link below. ABC numbers are total crap, not even remotely near reality. That has been pointed out to you two a number of times. ABC numbers are pure fiction. Do not reflect the offical vote tally at all.

You’re not bright.
There’s a dimension called time. Things can change over time. Vote tallies can change over time. One website can update quicker than another.
Think it over then get back to me in about a year.

How can you “point out” to me numbers from the SOS that are likewise total crap, as you say, since they lag the current numbers??
Dude, YOUR NUMBERS AT THE TIME YOU POSTED THEM WERE FRAUDULENT.
Just deal with it. Arrogantly screaming louder merely exposes your error to more people. You were wholly and totally wrong. You claimed to be posting data with 93% of the Precincts reporting and you were off by over 13,000 votes. Coleman’s margin was over 16,000 when you claimed it was 3600. It hasn’t been 3600 anytime in the last 2 hours. It NOT about time or anything changing. The numbers you reported, when you reported them, had utterly NO base in the facts.
This is about the facts. The facts are YOUR numbers were complete fantasy, no where even near reality based on what the State of Minnesota State Govt website was reporting when 93% of the Precients were in! So either you made a mistake or you were out and out lying. I decided to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you were merely repeating fraudulent information put out by the Establishment media.
