As the official recount for Minnesotas U.S. Senate seat slowly approaches, political wonks from across the country are wondering why so many of the miscounted or misreported ballots that have narrowed Norm Colemans lead over Al Franken were from Northeastern Minnesota.
The Coleman campaign has questioned an additional 100 votes awarded to Franken from a Mountain Iron precinct, and bloggers have been blustering about a 246-vote swing to Franken that came out of Two Harbors.
Lake County Auditor Steve McMahon took a little flak from a FOX News reporter over that Wednesday, the same day the Wall Street Journal ran an editorial that took the city to task over the issue.

Oh, gosh, another 99Percenter. Coleman is not a pure conservative, but he's largely conservative. Definitely more conservative than McCain. He's about where Palin is. We need to support him strongly.
And that's not including his Bill Clinto problem (yes, it's true).
Good - glad that I can amuse you.
I am not a troll - nothing in what I said is trollish. I corrected someone who was making a mistake of FACT, not opinion - because as a conservative, I deal in facts, not emotions.
Further: My family is from Minnesota - my father knows Norm Coleman from when he was mayor of St. Paul. He isn’t the conservative you are awaiting for. He is a former Democrat - his family is from New York - he was a friggin hippie, for christ sakes- and his business dealings have always been a little shady - that is now beginning to come to light - but those of use who know him and his past knew this was coming. He was recruited by Rove for his pro business, not conservative, bona-fides.
You need to man up and realize that two adults - I am assuming, against evidence to the contrary that you are an adult - can look at something and have a difference of opinion. You love Norm? Great. I for one will be happier with a true conservative there. Fake conservatives have cost this party a lot - and you need the intellectual honesty to be able to see that.
No - I am not a troll - but you, sir, are just simply rude.
