"Typo correction" brings Franken closer to Coleman

Saxby will still win it outright. There are 38,000 absentee and 10,000 military ballots to be counted and he only needs 4000 to put him over the 50% +1.

This is not a ‘rat problem, as long as we let them get away with it over and over. It’s a republican problem.

This can’t happen if there are honest people of any party (yes even McKinney’s Green party if they are honest) watching this, and reporting to honest cops.

Are you sure? He seems to think he is in a run-off. I have no doubt that the Obamunists will pull out all the stops to try to take that seat as well.

[Zuben Elgenubi]

You are, of course, correct. My error. I read Robert Graves 40 years ago and I really should not have made the mistake. It should have been burned into my memory.

Enough is enough. They won't be stopped by the righteous indignation so we have to start cheating too. We are plenty smart enough to stuff ballot boxes just as they do. There must be a good voter fraud training session going on somewhere. Lets all enroll.

Heard him with Hewitt today and these were his numbers. Yes he’s asking for money IF there a runoff but said the donations will be returned if he wins outright. With all the uncounted ballots it seems like he’s safe. But what do I know? Just saying what I heard.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Yep. If they counted 50 times and Colemnn was the winner each time, they would count a 51st time and “find” enough votes to put Franken ahead and then suddenly THAT ONE COUNT is somehow more valid than the other 50.

I hope you are right - our county sent out 6000 absentee ballots and only got back 1500 - I hope none of them "magically" reappear....from our very democratic county (which will have to remain nameless to protect the innocent - me:)

[stevem]

OK, it says right here, from an election judge of a number of elections, and a Republican who thinks Norm Coleman would heave the entire Republican Party into quicksand for one additional vote: They will not "find" enough votes to put the classless one on top.

Norm Coleman is beyond soulless. He has raised a moist finger in the wind so many times it's stuck in that position and coated with spit. He has NO moral compass...none... He is pathetic as an example of a Republican. If you watch him formulate he will make you puke.

He isn't going to lose this race.

Now you've asked for it...

So here it is!

Heil Hitler!



Heil!

I'll hold you to that.

But the deficit keeps dropping. 752 to 236. That's not good.

[TSawyer007]

they won’t get away with it. Coleman is going to win, no doubt about it.

[Empireoftheatom48]

I hope so!

[CriticalJ]

Comrades,

it is just the way things are now. Obama needs Franken to win. For the sake of our society, it will be.

They HAVE 60 in the senate. Just not technically all Democrats. It’s pointless to worry about it when we have a House that could very well be taken back.

[Bull Market]

The ACU claims McCain is conservative. They use a dishonest system, which means it’s worthless.

[Belteshazzar]

Remember, the Democrat party is the mommy party and the Republican the daddy party, to borrow a turn of phrase from the now highly suspect and oh so Obama besotted Peggy Noonan. That is why things always head in this direction. Let me put it in still plainer language. The Democrats are the party of the people and the Republicans the party of law. Both, ultimately, are needed as correctives, the one to the other. This is the way the system was designed by the founders (substitute Whig for Republican), who so distrusted human nature and human beings that they knew the two party system was the only way to go, and that to set law, history, and experience (Republican) against desire, present, and dream (Democrat) was to set humanity against itself, conscience against aspiration. When one or the other waxes or wanes too much, catastrophe ensues, and the people, who are composed of both of these natures, exert the needed corrective through the ballot box. But even so carefully considered and constructed a system would eventually fail, as the founders recognized, and the tree of liberty would once more have to be watered with the blood of martyrs ... an eventuality which surely has not yet arrived.

That said, of course Demos keep counting in close races, even in defiance of the rules (the law), because only the will of the people matters to them, they insist, trumping even the law. Until Republicans rediscovery their backbones and insist on being Republicans, that the law is the law whether anyone likes it or not, this foolishness will continue ... along with ACORN and all the rest.
