This story shows that the "ballots in the trunk" story was false:

This story utterly damns the WSJ editorial that has been floating around:
http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/2009/01/did-wall-street-jorunal-fire-their-fact.html

It takes 4 groups to sign off on each recounted vote:
The local board
The Canvassing board
Representatives of the Franken campaign
Representatives of the Coleman campaign

No. Coleman knows he lost. And the right wingnuts know that Coleman lost fair and square. But that won't stop them from frothing at the mouth and spewing rabid nonsense.

Yep and this latest round of lawsuits is nothing more than more sore loser obstructionism.
Seat Franken and Burris both then STFU and get on with ohhh I dunno fixing the F'ing Nation!

True but if the shoe was turned you know Franken would do the same thing. When the count is that close you have to.

Heh probably but it's jan. 6 far past time for both parties to move on. MHO is let Franken shoot himself in the foot and build the Ammo/Warchest for the next round.

Coleman alone will not change the dynamic in the Senate. if it was a matter of 49/50/51 then it would be differant.

I'm not up on MN. politics too much but from what I understand Coleman was an even poorer choice for the seat than Franken was wich is a pretty tall pile of suckage to not measure up to.

I can't argue there.. Especially since the senate is filibuster proof.

Bottom line:


If you can't beat this guy:

By an overwhelming margin, then for godsakes.... you REALLY don't deserve to win anything.
