Not a lot of good news today, but this certainly is.

Is it definite?

Yes, it is good news.

The bad news is that the leftist, untalented and stupid Ass Clown known as Al Franken had anywhere near a chance to begin with.

Florida 2000 redux.

Welcome Senator Franken...

Yes, I live in Minnesota and know the territory.

Kyrie Eleison!

So Schmuckie Schumer is assured that his title of worst senator in United States history goes unchallenged.

If the theft gets too obvious, it can serve as rallying point in the future. I love the idea of Franken being the face of the new democratic party. The guy makes Biden look like Einstein.

762 vote margin. Razor thin.

Will Weird Al Franken call for a major recount and probably find more votes? Probably.

It’s a good thing....

We needed to keep another Republican vote in the senate.

Although I think Franken would have been a BIG embarrassment to the Left, the laughs would not have been worth it.

The libertarian took 15%. Franken would have been slaughtered otherwise. There will be a recount, but they seldom mean anything.

I find it TOTALLY DISGUSTING that this was a narrow win. What is wrong with people?
