Ballot counting under way in Coleman-Franken Senate race

They cannot count quick enough at this point. Time to kick Norm to the curb and get on with Governing with our new Jr. Senator Al Franken.

Norm - One more chance to do the right thing for the voters and citizens of MN. If you win today great. If you are behind, concede.

who cares

Norm Coleman is my man. I hope he will be able to serve Minnesoteans for another 20 years in the Senate. Norm is so cute. I love him. I hope you do also. If this takes a few years, who cares?

"Ballot counting under way ..." Do we have enough geniuses in Minnesota to accomplish that? I mean, this all EXTREMELY difficult work, what with all the standards in play, and all these ballots popping up out of nowhere -- like: "Ooops! how did those get missed?" or "Oooops! I *forgot* to take these out of the trunk of my Subaru" or "Ooooops! we forgot to add in the ACORN ballots!"

Oh good heavens - I thought we were done with this already

Hang in there Franken. Not all Minnesotans are insane! You will be seated and I can't wait to see Pawlenty's face when he is forced to eventually sign your election certificate.

More fraud.

Norm and Pawlenty will drag this out. The mortgage debt ridden Coleman needs the money the job provides. He hasn't said how much the Israelis are paying him to lobby.

Franken nets another 87. His lead now stands at 312. I suppose we could find another 400 rejected absentee ballots to count, but I don't think it would matter much.

Give it up Frankin, you are a joke not a Senator. We hate you here in Minnesota.

Wrong, Schmuckster, Franken IS the new Senator. We love him here in Minnesota. Eat the ballots.

Less Norm.

What's up you people in MN? Gore conceded even though he shouldn't have and here's Norm hanging on to a lost cause making Minnesotans look ridiculous to the rest of the country. Why not just get on his case to concede, have your Governor conceded, and enough of this republickan party stuff. He lost, get over it. You people must have lots of money to spend on this absurd recounting process. One less Senate seat for MN. I don't get it.

MINNESOTA FIRST NORM! It's time to end this travesty and let us have both our senators.

Oh please. Without the media bias lying and pumping up Obama to get democrats votes and Barkley in the race Franken didn't stand a chance.

Franken would have lost in a landslide in a special election.

Cry on, Cryos! It's over!

The liberals whine that too much money and too much time is being spent on this recount, and yet the liberals (i.e. three judge panel) do nothing other than assure more time and more money will continue to be spent by their violation of due process and equal protection rights of Minnesota voters.

Unfortunately, the three (3) judge panel made a big splash showing their willingness to violate the rights of Minnesota voters and to violate Minnesota law by refusing to count 4,800 real voters and by allowing the physical manual hand count, described by 2008 law, to be unlawfully diluted by 133 Phantom ballots, thus, voiding the hand count.

Since the three (3) judge panel shows their disdain for Minnesota voters, in any fair and equitable ruling, there is no question that they invite federal review to reverse them and to ensure equal and fair review of all issues in this election.

If the Minnesota Supreme Court does not reverse these unlawful actions, by the three (3) judge panel, what will happen is Minnesota will be tainted with the view, by other states, of political elections. One can all thank Franken and the three (3) judge panel for coloring Minnesota with such an ugly label.

This ugly label will become apparent to all U.S. citizens upon federal review and reversal of Minnesota's political election.

Chicago is known as the ballot stuffing city, and Minnesota as the judicial ballot thieves. Whenever someone wants a political election instead of a voter election, he/she will flock to Minnesota like Franken.

Should the Minnesota Supreme Court choose to continue these violations of equity, due process and equal protection, Governor Pawlenty will rightfully have no other choice than to refuse to issue a certificate of election, or he will become aligned and partially responsible for furthering the violations of U.S. laws and rights, afforded by the Constitution, by Minnesota state actors (i.e. three judge panel and Election Canvassing Board).

And let the partisan bickering begin. Summary of posts for this article: SOCIALISM! Sore Loser! Dirty Libs/Rethugs! Etc., Etc., Etc.

This should be entertaining.

Oh yeah, and the ACORN statements. Those are classic!
