Will Al Franken actually become a U.S. Senator?
RedState ^ | 12/12/2008 | Mark Kilmer

Raise a stein for Franken! The Minnesota Board of Canvassers has voted unanimously to suggest that county boards to count all ballots which Norm Coleman tried to have thrown out as inconclusive to which comedian Al Franken replied, Nuh-huh!” Ballgame over? Raise the Franken stein and drink deeply? Rise and make yourself known, Mr. Senator Alan Stuart Franken? Nope. The Board of Canvassers is technically impotent in this matter. Their “ruling” was more like a “pretty please,” if that.

They’ve snatched the defeat from the jaws of victory before, will do it again I’m sure......

Without the Obama/McCain distraction, I think Coleman would win a rerun easily. If necessary he should just ask the Senate to declare the seat vacant and order a new election.

If it does happen, let the Dumbocrats get the blame for the slightest thing that goes wrong. They want to be in charge...well the buck stops with them.

For cryin’ out loud, just give Franken his Senate seat already and spare us the BS about “finding” lost ballots and recounting rejected ones. I mean, Franken is going to win anyways. It is clear that he’s going to be permitted to keep finding new ballots and recounting old ones until he gets the result he wants. Let’s just get it over with since no one seems to have the stomach to put a stop to this nonsense.

******Will Al Franken actually become a U.S. Senator?******

I don’t think he could stand the competition. He will be just one clown among many others.

The blame is also with MN voters and a less than honest SOS(funded by Soros) Even if the Republicans had a spine transplant a large number of voters in that state voted for Franken.

Does anyone have any serious doubt that the dems will find/manufacture enough votes to either put franken over the top or throw the race into the Senate where the outcome is a forgone conclusion?? If so there is a bridge in Brooklyn for sale very cheap.

The gop will of course tuck its tail and run while this is being done.

A lot would seem to be dependent on Coleman, who, underneath his smile, seems to be a tough New Yorker who grew up where people knew how to stick to their guns.

Let’s hope he is.

Personally we would like to see some investigation into Frankensteiners crossing over the legal line.
