At the moment, the Star Tribune has Coleman up by 285 votes. With only another 1400 ballots left to determine, it may be difficult — but not impossible — for Franken to overcome that margin on ballot challenges alone.

Actually, I read it the other way. I now think it’s likely Franken will win.

Coleman netted 75 or so votes on Franken challenges of the 160 or so examined. If Franken does as well on Coleman’s challenges that will net him roughly 460 votes, or enough to overtake Coleman.

Most of us don’t wear face masks. A scarf usually takes care of things.

Illinois: Where people from Minnesota which they were living.

There are also an awful lot of really ugly women there too. I went there for a trade show, and walking through the airport I thought I was going to turn into a pillar of salt.

I guess homely more than ugly.

Excuse me, but I live here and I am NOT ugly. I did quite well when I grew up in the DC area as well. And when I moved here I noticed a ton of attractive women. They were all blondes, but as a brunette that worked out great for me.

Ok, once again…keep ripping on Minnesota and look what THIS ENTIRE COUNTRY just elected for President.

It is very upsetting, true, but look at who was running against him. Ever sense shamnesty, McCain had a big black X on his forehead every time I looked at him. If McCain was the best the republicans had to offer, they diserved to loose big. Like i said from the getgo, we need another Jimmy Carter if we are to get another Ronald Reagan.

Minneapolis-St. Paul is a hub airport. Just a guess — you may have seen some women from other places passing through. We have many very attractive ladies here. You never want to judge a place by its airport – ask a Bostonian about that.

when will this fricken thing be over??????

When Franken is proclaimed the winner.

Consistency appears to be the buzzword of the week here. We’ll see if we get it.

It depends on what consistency you want. I’m sure they can do “consistency of mud mixed with sticks and stones of varying sizes”, but I rather doubt they can pull off “consistency of a chocolate milkshake”.

these would be the same people that almost voted in al, DUH!
:-)

The best solution to this mess would be to kick Minnesota out of the Union.

We can trade them to the Soviet Union for Lithuania and a Baltic State to be named latter.

which is why the canvassing board and the MN supremes needs to SHUT THE DOOR on or before friday to deny them additional oportunity!

ultiamtely, far less than if al steals the seat!
