This is FRAUD!!!!!!!! The Democrats have been slowly stealing the MN Senate election for weeks and it seems that hardly anything has been done about it! Where is Governor Pawlenty? Why hasn’t he spoken out against this sham???

I say let MN have him. They deserve it!

The whole country has gone to hell in a hand basket anyway.

The right thing to do in this case would be a special election. That should be the definitive end result.

Check out the movie “Idiocracy”.

I thought it was a comedy, but turned out it was a documentary.

No. We don’t deserve him. We didn’t vote for him. Mark Ritchie and ACORN voted for him...

He looks very presidential... Yeah, right. To me he looks like a clown out of costume. Since our Begich will be joining him, I belive the Senate can now be referred to as the House of Clowns.

"The right thing to do in this case would be a special election."

I agree - but would it be legal?

(And, as an after-thought - I wonder if Franken will show up to cast his Senate votes, wearing the diapers he wore on SNL?)

It's hard to believe our America has been tossed in the waste basket like yesterday's soup can. Still difficult for me to believe that Obama will be sworn in as POTUS.

Excluding Bush/Gore in 2000, has there been a contested election or vote recount in the last 10 years that the Dems have lost?

“This is FRAUD!!!!!!!!”

Some fraud did indeed happen, but the bigger tragedy is the number of Minnesotans who actually did vote for him. What the hell were those people thinking????? Between Franken and Jesse Ventura, is it they’re so overcome in their boring lives by someone with a modicum of celebrity that they elevating him to the highest levels of power they have to offer?

Obviously, if the GOPer doesn’t win beyond contestability, he/she will lose. All ties/close votes go to the dems.

I am so embarrassed to say I live in Minnesota. The voters brought in Jesse Ventura and now the hack Al Franken has stolen the election with the help of Mark Ritchie and Acorn! The state government is taken over by liberals and Spanish is spoken at every grocery store and gas station.

To make matters worse, we aren't heard in this stupid state!
