Franken Ahead by 4000 Votes???…

Nice Deb notices the update at Minnesota’s secretary of state site has this unwelcome surprise. I think that might just be a glitch, though, as most people seem to think Franken’s behind and staying there. I’m hoping “Typo.” If you……

Not to worry about Al. If he loses his attempt to steal the election, 0bama will appoint him as Secretary of Education.

No offense Ed…but…
Ventura, now FRANKEN (within a whisper of a US Senate seat)!
Just what or who WON’T the good people of Minnesota vote for?

What’s going on up there?

I don’t know what my state’s problem is. It makes one wonder.

…that again presumes that Franken voters are at least 6% less adept overall than Coleman voters.

Crap, he has it won doesn’t he?

Why doesn’t this assclown Franken just concede the election and get it over with? He can then go write his next big blockbuster “How Come The Black Guy From Chicago Got Elected President And I Didn’t Even Win In Minnestota?!!!”

Over half the country voted for Obama. Why pick on MN for keeping Franken close (at least it is below 50%)

Because Obama looks like Winston Churchill compared to Franken…Franken is that bad.

Would it have been any less grim if Al Frankenstein had run as Stuart Smalley?
The Christian Conservative just beat me to it! If Ayers doesn’t get the job, he may bomb Al’s house; it will be a field trip for his new students.

But there are lots of Obama voters in Minnesota who did not also vote for Franken. That proves there are a lot of stupid voters who did not give proper evidence of stupidity on their ballot.

This election will go to the courts in the end.

And, when Franken doesn’t get the result he wants, does he go whining to Harry Reid to get the Senate to overturn the will Minnesota voters?

Rhetorical question, I know.

At least Franken has his comedy/writing/radio career to fall back on. Most liberals starve when they lose an election.

More to the point, wasn’t Franken’s political career supposed to be the fallback position from his failed comedy/writing/radio “career”?

Pray his next career is as a masked mime.

Any state that would even come close to voting in Stuart Smalley for US Senator is terminally stupid.

This, class, is a perfect example of what we call a non-sequiter.

That picture makes me think that things are looking grin for Franken.
