Franken Cuts into Lead
The recount in Minnesota is only a day old (18 percent completed) and there is already some good news: Al Franken has gained some ground on Republican incumbent, Norm Coleman. The gap between the two candidates was 215 votes but now has diminished to 174 votes. The swing of pro-Franken votes came from the Democratic stronghold, St.Louis County.
A final report of the election results should be finished by December 5th, and the Canvassing Board anticipates a decision on rejected absentee ballots before Thanksgiving. They will rule on challenged ballots starting December 16. Election experts believe that we won’t know the final results until the end of the year but Secretary of State Mark Ritchie hopes they will know slightly earlier.

FRist to say....
Let me be the FRist to say, go Al!
Would be amazing if we could pull this one off.
Either way, there's been a recounting of the votes, so I respect whatever happens.
I'll bet you most republicans won't say the same... If Al wins they'll be screaming bloody murder and find some (imagined) fault in the recount...

They'll say Al won because of high union wages.

I find your "website" both curious and pathetic.
I have never seen so much bitterness, complaining, and immaturity at one site before. It is entertaining to see you far left liberals moaning and complaining about the movement of your messiah to the center. Didn't you all realize that was going to happen?
He's an empty suit for God's sake (sorry about the use of that word, S-Ps, I know it's not accepted in your lexicon)
Don't bother to spend much time responding to me since my "one-time" logon provided by Airless America is all you guys are really worth, and I wouldn't dream of giving you a nickel in support.
Al Franken will lose in the courts, and you know it. Too bad for you. Thank God for us! And, Saxby Chambliss will win big time in Georgia as well. You S-Ps will be dying a slow painful death over the next few years, just wait and see.
The Fairness Doctrine will not work for you, nor will the AFL-CIO get paid back for supporting the messiah.
Thanks again. And to all of you lots of luck! not really.
Merry Christmas!
