Norm Coleman was elected five terms to the Senate. Franken was the clown vote who got a boost from Obama voters marking their ballots straight-ticket Dem. Franken still cheated. No one will be outraged on his behalf if Coleman wins after such a thorough process.

As we have seen, the absentee ballots are, in the words of Forrest Gump, like a box of chocolates; you never know what you’re going to get until it’s too late.

Someone told me the original quote was, “Life ain’t no box of chocolates, if you’re an idiot.”

The problem with this election at this point: whoever wins will have an asterix next to their victory and be labeled a cheater by half the population. They would be nearly guaranteed to lose the next election.

With that in mind, maybe you should just send the Frenkenfurter to DC. He can’t do any worse than the Dems in the Senate are already doing. Plus he’ll be associated with this failed administration and failed Congress. He wouldn’t have a snowball’s chance in hell the next election.

(A snowball in hell. Does that describe MN?)

I think the Dems screwed up this whole vote so badly, with all of the SOROS and other money poured into the dam lawyers pockets that the election should be declared tainted enough for a re-vote. Let’s see if Al (PROFAIN) Franken can really win on his own. I would be surprised if he could win after all this negative press. He is a real low life!

The messed up part? Norm Coleman IS Stuart Smalley, just the nicest, most unassuming guy. Sure, he’s a moderate, but he is one of the more decent Congressmen. The people of Minnesota put him through this nightmare for no other reason than to hold their stake on idiocy.

I could be wrong, but I thought that most the Republican leaning counties did not count their reject ballots because it was not legal for them to do so. The Democratic counties counted theirs, so that gave Franken the lead. So, the board just wants to get those original ones counted, the ones that were not counted when the Democratic ones were.

If I am off somewhere, please do point it out as I have not really been a close follower of this whole thing as it gets old fast.

even more important with Judd Gregg (R-NH) leaving for the Commerce Sec. post. I don’t know if NH will just appoint a Democrat to take Gregg’s spot, but I wouldn’t be surprised one little fat bit.

As a punishment to the state of MN for being obviously even stupider as a whole than FL, I saw we pull a soup nazi on them and say NO SENATOR FOR YOU until 2010. And then maybe these people will learn how to mark ax X next to a name, and only 1 name.

Minnesota is so messed up I don’t care really who wins…but I really want Coleman to win, just to watch the liberals heads explode.

In the end, it would be alot cleaner and easier to have a run-off between Coleman and Fuckstick. It would also make it easier on the dumbshits voting. I mean, how can you screw up:

VOTE FOR 1 ONLY:

Coleman ____

Franken ____

This would result in at least some votes being cast for the number “1″, and does not actually compel the voter to only vote for one. They can mark one, then mark it out and circle the other one, just like they did the first time.

Remember, these Minnesotans are common, salt-of-the-earth people. You know – morons. (hat tip to Gene Wilder)

It's important that Coleman be able to compete against a well-funded Franken in pursuing this ballot issue. If you can spare a few bucks, donate here. We need all the Republican Senators we can get!

Yeah, this whole legal process thing is so overrated. Let’s just declare Franken the winner and ignore Coleman’s rights. That way Daily Kos will be happy.

We have put men on the moon,created an artificial heart,shot satellites into space that can photograph our solar system….Yet we cannot get the State of Minnesota to count pieces of paper with little marked boxes.

This is sad.

Ed, This ruling shouldn’t invoke Bush v. Gore because the ballots would be included because the ballots would be included only if they met the 4 criteria.

In Bush v. Gore, SCOTUS ruled against Gore because the Florida Supreme Court ignored Florida’s election law, thereby invoking the Equal Protection Clause.
