I hasten to add that it's temporary good news as it seems obvious that Franken's attorneys will go to court to get some of the rejected absentee ballots counted.
But nonetheless, it was refreshing to see the Canvassing Board stick to what their job responsibilities are and not go beyond that.
Comments or opinions - anyone?
Whew!
WELCOME TO FREE REPUBLIC’S MINNESOTA PING LIST!
117 MEMBERS AND GROWING...!
FREEPMAIL ME IF YOU WANT ON OR OFF THIS LIST!
I’m cautiously optimistic for Norm Coleman at this point. Cautiously.
So, in other words, the canvassing board, knowing full well that this will wind up in the courts anyway, accomplished nothing.
Buckpassing.
A desperate attempt to get the overall, released tally in their favor for PR purposes. They realize that the public now sees this as a Coleman victory, and need to posted recount numbers to show in their favor, even artificially, even if it means challenging 5000 ballots on the last day to do it.
Me too. Concerned, but optimistic.
....but then I just repeat what you already posted. LOL!
Never mind....
Don’t we all know what’s going to happen here? Just like Florida. When Franken looses the first recount, they’ll challenge it and say, “no no, let’s just recount in the Democrat leaning areas ... “. Then attempt to recount until they get enough votes for Franken to win and then want to quit counting.
Now up by 243
It’s not a Senator, it’s Frankenfraud’s monster.
Yay!! Go Norm!
I know all Minnesotans will be awfully glad when this is
over and they can put it behind them and move on....or
it’s gonna be a very looooong winter!
I think everyone has had ENOUGH of this from the left. This is poisoning the whole election process. I’m not as up on the laws as probably most of you are. What ,if anything, is being done to stop this before the next election in 2011?
I swear, this is ridiculous. Come on Coleman!!!!
Striking resemblance!!! Franken needs to go back to comedy.
Franken stunk at comedy. That's why he became known as a "satirist", which is a smirking way of saying "comedian who isn't funny".
