Traitor Murtha’s another Byrd. He will keep his office until the day he dies.

Wow just about the only good news of the evening. I thought we were going to lose Coleman for good.

Recount coming, but unless they do a “King County” I think we can breathe more easily.

For a state that elected Jesse Ventura.... oh no. While at dinner on election eve; here, deep behind the Orange Curtain in South Orange County, someone at a table nearby mentioned the possibility of a Franken win. I piped up and opined that if Minnesota voted in Franken that they should be the first state that B.O. cedes to Russia when the Bear comes calling.

The margin is only 600 votes or so. This will go to an automatic recount. Does anyone have an idea if Coleman’s lead will hold up to a recount?

Murtha should be horse whipped. And I would never hit a horse with a whip, but I sure as hell would swing one at that p.o.s. a few times.

Agreed. If Murtha didn’t lose this year after calling his constituents racist rednecks, he’ll never lose.

This is a state that elected Jesse the body Ventura.

Last vision of that race is her heinous standing along side the madman franken.

Perfect together, aren’t they.

She has no cohorts now. It’s going to get very interesting for the Klinton’s.

There is lots of good news. The Democrats got less than half the gains in the house projected by Fox at midnight last night, they fell short of a Filibuster, Stevens won in Alaska, Mitch McConnell won, Saxby won.

The republicans have given Obama the keys to the Titanic. Obama will have to play fair, or he will become known as the first black Jimmy Carter, and we will have the first female Reagan in 4 years.

This loss must hang heavy on Franken, the failed comic and talk show host.

I didn’t see that Stevens won in Alaska. That is surprising. I wrote that off as a loss.

The Franken bunch is complaining this morning about a lack of new voter application forms at some precincts. Not sure how they will create more votes there but they will sure try to find a way.

MN makes me sick. I can’t believe 1,210,028 Minnesotans voted for such a slimy, low-life scum as Al Franken. They should be ashamed of themselves. It is a slap in the face to America. It is a sad day for America. Very sad indeed.
