Minnesota is becoming to 2008 politics what Florida was in 2000 or Washington State in 2006 - a real mess. The outcome will determine if the Democrats get 58 members of the US Senate, giving them an effective filibuster-proof vote on many issues.
When voters woke up on Wednesday morning after the election, Senator Norm Coleman led Al Franken by what seemed like a relatively comfortable 725 votes. By Wednesday night, that lead had shrunk to 477. By Thursday night, it was down 336, By Friday it was 239. Late Sunday night, the difference had gone down to 221 - a total change over 4 days of 504 votes.

Someone ‘found’ 32 ballots in the trunk of their car.
I am not kidding. That is what is being reported.
Same scenario in Washington in '06. Reed, the SoS here is the only statewide office held by the R's.
Democrats win ties.

the longer this drags out the better it is for the perps in the Democratic party.
There could be an upside to having the Bucktoothed Psychopath in the Senate cloakroom.
Lack of moderates is the reason you are in minority now and will remain there forever if you can’t build a wider coalition.
Trying to radicalize the middle is an ambitious goal....which will never realize.
The young have refused to accept division and anger....old are dying.....
You need Norm, Mitt and Jeb......
1/5 Conservatives voted for Obama.
Paranoid faction of the party like Limbaugh think that had McCain been even angrier, and even more vicious, and had joined Palin in accusing Obama of being a Terrorist Sympathizer, he would have won.
However, in reality, its the message of divison, bitterness and anger, that drove a 5th of Conservatives to most liberal Senator in Washington.
America is a good nation.
It will NEVER EVER respond positively to anger and hatred. This election has proven that.
Ping!!!
The only 'upside' is the state of Minnesota, if I'm tracking with you correctly.
The dims have already cut it from a 700 vote margin to a 200 vote margin. Why in the world would thay stop just a dozen votes short? Remember, it's the dims running this thing in MN.
It's obvious fraud. The give away is that the Senate race is the only race in which the numbers are changing. There is no logical reason that "adding" errors and the like would be limited to a single race on ballots containing dozens of races. Yet, the vote changes in the Senate race dwarf any "corrections" in all other races by many times over. All of this and the recount has not even started.
The best explanation is not mathematical, but the simple fact that 'Rats are in charge of the county election boards that are finding these "mistakes."
I believe that Minnesota uses an optical scanning ballot system with a safeguard of returning to the voter any ballot that is not not marked for at least one race so he/she may correct his error. But that's not good enough for the 'Rats - now it seems they want any mark on the optical scanner ballot near a candidate's name to count as well, whether the circle or oval corresponding to that candidate was darkened or not.
Same exact same happened in FL. Bush was ahead by thousands. By morning, it was hundreds.
A friend of mine who believe me, is in a position to know, had called me telling me that was exactly what would happen. I told her Bush was ahead by thousands. She told me, no, by morning the Dem machine will pull all the votes out of where they have them hidden. She said they will find them here and there, bit by bit, with Gore always advancing. It’s the way they work.
The dems are always prepared to manufacture any amount of votes they need, unless the Republican wins by a good margin. A few days later was the “Republican riot” incident where all the Broward dems locked themselves in a room to “count” the vote privately.
My friend told me the “riot” kept Gore from being president - she had no doubt about it. It kept the dems from rigging the vote.
Fraud has got to be a major factor in getting him so close.
It will all cease the moment the Dims get the lead.
I never stated any case on why Coleman deserves to lose. It’s obvious that he is superior to Franken.
We hold three in Washington. SoS, Attorney General and Lands Commissioner (not counting the stolen Governorship).
And Dean Barkley.
As well as any state or local bureaucrats who willfully abetted their fraud!
My husky is far superior to Franken, however my husky isn't a DFL'er.
I am very sorry and should’ve been more clear with my ping. Please forgive me. I was not referring to you, just pinging another Freeper to this thread.
I was calling out Reagan Man who said on another thread that Coleman deserves to lose because he is not conservative enough.
