If I remember correctly, the last step in the certification of the Coleman/Franken race is for the governor to sign off on the results. That is the moment I’m looking forward too. I want to see and hear Tpaw declare that Franken has received the most votes and therefore wins the election. Sweet, sweet, sweet.

I just hope that Franken doesn’t fly in any small planes.

Get this…the guy Bush pardoned for perjury to HUD (and multiple counts of constructing uninhabitable housing) Robert Toussie, father (also named Robert) contributed $28,000 to the GOP during the last election. But he also dropped several thousand into…Norm Coleman’s campaign kitty just prior to requesting the pardon.

Meow! This must be GREAT NEWS…for Norm Coleman!

Thank you for this good news. I won’t rest easy until the count is
certified for Al and I will rejoice when he is sworn in.

Just wondering: Might Mike Connell’s recent death and his alleged
involvement in Coleman’s 2002 election be a factor in Coleman’s current behavior?

Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas. Be of good cheer and stay healthy. We
will need to be ready for what’s ahead.

Considering all the dirty campaigning Coleman did to win that seat the first time….. To me this is payback including the Repug trashing of Democrats when Wellstone died.

The Rethugs were already crazy. A lot of them are saying exactly the same things now that they would say if we really did steal the election. Boys crying wolf. (Or, as I said yesteday, Wichita Falls Cowboys fans tweaking on meth.)

“Powerline” has been oddly sane, after couple of creepy posts. I think that they’re going by the “don’t burglarize the neighborhood you live in” principle.

One thing that I haven’t seen discussed a lot that may have swayed the judges — early in the campaign it was the Franken people talking about duplicate ballots, not Coleman people, and the Coleman people resisted them. I don’t have more details than that.

Ye Haw!!!!!!!!!

Franken is a progressive in the spirit of Wellstone. This could be a very good thing for *our* congress!!!!!

This inability to game the system has got be driving the Rethugs crazy. Good. I’m gonna bet that if Franken wins Coleman’s concession speech, if he bothers with one, will be bitter and accusatory.
