“What was the difference between Al Franken and Norm Coleman”

Coleman led by 700 on election day. After all the battles, Franken won by 312 OUT OF THREE MILLION CAST.

Here you have Miller with a lead over twice as large as Coleman’s in a pool of voters (92,000) that is less that ONE THIRTIETH the size of the Minnesota electorate. and bear in mind, that Franken knew he had a close election and he made preparations BEFORE election day. Not so, Murkowski.

Coleman led by 255 at certification of that election.

And if you read too much there you will realize that the Libertarian and Constitution party members in MN probably gave us Obama care.

If Miller led Murkowski in AK by the same percentage as Coleman led Franken MN, his lead would be less than 7 votes.

There was a 215 vote difference between Al Franken and Norm Coleman out of almost 3 million votes cast. In this election we're talking a 1668 vote difference out of less than 85,000 votes counted so far. The Absentee/Questioned Ballots will bring the total vote count in Alaska to about 100,000.
