Gee, dies anyone really expect this guy to show a bit of class and concede the election??
Right.....
In Minnesota, recounts rarely change results. This was way too close for comfort, but a win is a win.
Depends on who is doing the counting.
Isn’t a recount mandatory if the % spread is less than 0.5%?
Several weeks? Waiting to find those wayward absentee ballots or hidden votes in a drawer?
We need a Conservative ACORN.
if it would have been me...in this case...i would have conceded and told the people in Minn they can have him and obama and see what they get and run again in four while asking for the ones who did vote for me to understand that we have MAJOR WORK to do nationally over the next 4.
i’d been so po’ed that so many wanted the fool that i’d give him them.
Mr Coleman, have you ever been to Washington State? 450 votes were all we needed in 2004.
The fact that 1.2 million MN voters cast a vote for Al Franken really sickens me.
Gee, dies anyone really expect this guy to show a bit of class and concede the election??
Right.....
IIRC, the same option was available to George ALlen in 2006 and he did what Coleman is asking Franken to do .. ask that a recount not be conducted. Why do I think Franken lacks either Allen’s class, or interest in a resolution for the people of his state
I see it as a leftist victory either way with Coleman still a “RINO” Republican instead of always being a conservative Republican! Get rid of all leftists at every political level, including all RINO’s at every political level! Conservatism will always be a political minority as long as leftists have all of the political power with no end in sight! Leftists will have the power to possibly end all future U.S. elections as well as possibly make Barack Obama a President for life! Conservatives always play by the rules, while leftists always get their power any way that they can get it, even if it’s unlawful and unconstitutional! How can conservatives successfully get around all of the ongoing abuses of power by the dominant leftists, even if this includes the cancellation of all future U.S. elections and having Barack Obama really become President for life?
don’t get your hopes up. The democrats HATE coleman because he is not in the DFL.
Look for Coleman to lose the election AFTER the votes are cast. It’s the way of the Democrats. The only time they didn’t manage to do it was in Florida because we have hundreds of lawyers watching them like hawks. Without hundreds of lawyers, the fix will be in and the biggest Ahole ever to run for the Senate will be handed a seat in the House of Lords.
It’s crazy that Franken got that many votes. What’s up with Minnesota?
One hopes this result holds.
We certainly have gone down the tubes as a country when we have half of the people voting for COMPLETE IDIOTS because they think it's "cool'"
Franken’s a joke. he might as well make the election the same.
Think about it though; would Franken be any more of a national embarrassment than Harry Reid, Robert Byrd or Ted Kennedy?
Coleman’s margin of victory in the “official” state tally now stands at 475 votes, not 725 votes: http://electionresults.sos.state.mn.us/20081104/ElecRslts.asp?M=S&R=all&P=A&Races=’';
I’m sure the Dems can come up with that many, just like they did in Washington a few years back.
Ritchie is a Dim. His feet need to be held to the fire 24/7. He can't be trusted any further than he can be thrown.
