GOP leaders reacted angrily Wednesday to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s tactic of all but projecting Al Franken the victor over incumbent GOP Sen. Norm Coleman, even as Minnesota election officials continue to count the votes.
"At this stage, it appears that Franken will be certified the winner by the State Canvassing Board,” said a statement Reid’s office released Tuesday. “We're keeping abreast of the situation and will make a decision with regard to Senate action at the appropriate point in the process."

Forty one less the two from Maine and one from Pennsylvania. More like thirty eight. Remember hucklebuck won’t be running in Arkansas next time, nor will Rudy be taking on New Jersey or New York. We may even lose on in Texas. Ain’t that something.
We have Williams for the Senate here and he looks really good.
When you are behind in the vote you have to continue the count until you win(page 232 in the demo rat manual).
What is it with Dem Senate Majority leaders? Between Reid and Daschle I’d say the same bug crawled up their rear ends and died. Such miserable bastards.
Man, this is starting to feel like a slow coup.
Well Franken will be the Senator fake for six years until he proves that he can win an election fairly like Gregoire did this year, but the last four years she was known as Governor fake...Franken is going to have to win legitimately to lose that title.
Yes, Harry, but don't count some citizen's vote twice, and don't count votes that have no ballots to show where they came from. Citizens also have a right to know that only actual, legitimate votes are counted.
“As the process moves forward,” Reid warned, “Minnesota authorities must ensure that no voter is disenfranchised. A citizen’s right to have his or her vote counted is fundamental in our democracy.”
This is a complete joke. Minnesota is worse at holding elections than Florida. And that's saying something.
Well, at least they're furious.
he needs a “MiniMe” ?
Well why not say Franken will be seated when you know you are going to “find” the votes necessary. The fix is in.
Reid is a crooked SOB, why would anyone expect not to seat the thief?
Sure. Guess who has the majority.
I suppose the GOP could filibuster.
If the GOP had any cujones we’d storm the damn palace.
they need to filibuster then. Reid shouldn’t call an election. something is wrong here.
maybe the GOP will stop making nice nice with the Democrats?
What is the big deal in sitting a freak who stole an election, when we are getting ready to make a Kenyan President.
There, fixed it.
Yep time to fund his opponate and give Harry the Daschle treatment!
Why will he seat a whte man who cheated and not the legitimate black senator? Tht’s racist!
