Al Franken confirmed to MN senate by MN supreme court.

I haven't examined the list of Senators up for reelection next year except for Boxer and “if” the GOP would come up with a very good candidate, Boxer is vulnerable and “can be beaten!”

[rhema]

Hey! We'll accept responsibility for Feingold & Kohl but the blame for this atrocity falls squarely on the shoulders of our neighbors to the LEFT. A pox on them..........and their new senator.........AND their football team.

Yeah, we deserve the heat for esconscing a pornmeister in the Senate, but Tim Brewster is the anti-Franken: All-Big Ten twice at Illinois, upright citizen, all-around decent guy. (And we did cough up 18 fourth-quarter points to help you finish with the same 7-6 record that we did.)

[kellynla]

I just took a quick look at the “D’s” and it looks like Burris IL, Dodd CT, Reid NV, Schumer NY, Gillibrand NY, Dorgan ND, Specter PA and Boxer CA who I mentioned already are all vulnerable...of course it will be up to the Gelding Old Party to get a testicle & spine implant before next year and put up strong conservative candidates to win any of these seats.

I simply cannot believe that the patriots in Minnesota allowed this outcome . My overall estimation of all things Minn. has permanently;y gone thru the floor . What is the world is wrong with people there ? How could they put Al ‘asshat’ Franken in
the US Senate ? This despicable scum deserves to be locked up in Gitmo , not walking the halls of Congress and throwing votes the way of Pelosi and Read . Thanks alot ; the pathetic
people of Minnesota , you have really HURT America .
Congratulations .

Here is one explanation of the Minnesota fiasco in a nutshell:

"Dean Barkley briefly served as a member of the United States Senate from Minnesota following the death of Paul Wellstone. A founder and chair of the Minnesota Reform Party (the predecessor of the Independence Party of Minnesota), he chaired Jesse Ventura's successful 1998 gubernatorial campaign."

Breakdown of the 2008 Minnesota election for US Senator:

Franken popular vote 1,212,629/41.994%
Coleman popular vote 1,212,317/41.983%
Bradley popular vote 437,505/15.150%

“Looks like barney frank is getting a new play mate.”

My thoughts exactly. Two creeps....and I mean CREEPS!!!!

[MonicaG]

Thank you for your post - I heard this on the radio driving home late from work and cried out OMG! What next!!! God Save Us from this incredible Insanity!

And that book gives me hope; I have to remember what I read this morning.

[Swede Girl]

Shame on Minnesota. Midwesterners are supposed to have good values. I am in New Jersey, and we are basically a lost cause for a variety of reasons. I look to the Midwest to balance this out.

Minnesotans have failed their state, their people, and the the United States for sending Al Franken to Washington.

[armymarinemom]

HOly cow! I thought we were nuts in Maine!!

[LeoWindhorse]

Minnesotans utterly failed not only Minnesota , but America .
Shame shame shame on them....they have indeed hurt our country

[skinkinthegrass]

...and Gov. Pawlenty, can kiss any presidential prospects good-bye....
after screwin' up, during the critical periods in November.

Al Franken confirmed to Senate in MN.

:(

Coleman conceded I heard

[worst-case scenario]

o who, in your analogy, is the “large, ponderous armies of mercenaries”?

[M. Espinola]

This is beyond sick and twisted.

[Theodore R.]

Coleman wasn’t worthless. He voted anti-abortion. He just didn’t have much spine, wanted his former Democrats to say nice things about him. People in MN were lured to socialism in 1948, when they elected HHH to the Senate. Only sixty years have passed, and they are more socialistic than ever. HHH mow seems “conservative”.

[LS]

That would be the RINOs, namely Collins, Snowe, etc. I don’t think we can be effective until people such as them are replaced by conservatives. Now, I don’t think that will happen because MAINE elects conservatives, but because OH or NE or MT replaces a lib with a conservative.

[mrsixpack36]

Ok sure he voted anti-abortion, but those votes are less than 1 percent of the vote. The guy is a former dem who switched when the winds were blowing the other way. he has no real principals or stands (except abortion). We have to be more than a 1 issue party. Plus, I just did not like the guy. Purely pitiful choices in this race.

[Dead Corpse]

I wonder if we can book him a flight on Wellstone Airlines...

(Yes, that might be over the top. But so were Franken's 'rape' jokes on SNL.)
