Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) on Friday asked Democrats to provide more donations to his colleagues, warning that several of his fellow Democratic senators could end up reprising the months-long recount that kept him from taking his Senate seat.
Franken wrote in a fundraising e-mail for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) that some of his colleagues — like Sens. Barbara Boxer (Calif.), Russ Feingold (Wis.) or Patty Murray (Wash.) — could end up in races that are determined by just a few votes.
"Barbara Boxer, Russ Feingold, Patty Murray: Any of these great Democrats could end up in a race as close as mine," Franken wrote. "Any of these 15 races could swing the Senate majority. And that means even a small contribution could make a very big difference."
Franken won the 2008 Minnesota race against incumbent Sen. Norm Coleman (R) by only 312 votes. The final tally was approved only after an extensive, drawn-out recount that was litigated in court for months. It took Franken until July 9, 2009, to be sworn in.

Makes me sick.

In other words, a GOP victory that requires massive fraud.

Rubbin’ it in, eh Franken.
Keep this in mind - what goes around comes around.

This is GREAT NEWS!!!
If the whole Congress is tied up in recounts and contests, then the lame-duck session is dead-on-arrival.

We might need some liberal judges to come in and insure that the vote is being counted right and that the right people are winning. :)

If Franken can’t fire up the conservative base to make sure that kind of travesty doesn’t happen again anywhere, nothing will.

No, they won't be that close-the pollsters are greatly underestimating the extent of this tidal wave.
This is going to surpass 1994!
