MN-Sen: Getting Tighter

[ccharles000]

Last night, Hans Cole-Man was leading Al Franken by 477 votes. Of course, for the dickface that is Norm Coleman, that margin was good enough to ask Al Franken to waive the mandatory recount requirement and just call it day right there.
But the Minnesota Secretary of State has been updating its final results tally during the day, and Cole-Man's lead keeps getting smaller:


9:15 AM
Coleman: 1,211,520
Franken: 1,211,077
10:15 AM
Coleman: 1,211,525
Franken: 1,211,088

1:20 PM
Coleman: 1,211,527
Franken: 1,211,190

And right now?


Coleman: 1,211,542
Franken: 1,211,306
236 votes. I think we'll wait for all the ballots to be counted before we declare your victory, Norm. You dickface.

1. We can help Al Franken have enough staff to monitor the recount.

I donated to the Recount Fund tonight:

2. Amen to that. Did you notice some hack on CNN, I think it was, describing the

race as between "Republican Norm Coleman and COMEDIAN Al Franken"????
How about ASSHAT Norm Coleman and DEMOCRAT Al Franken...how's THAT, buttmunch??
Sheesh....

3. Wow. It's really getting close!

It appears that some sort of fraud was perpetrated by the GOP judging by the loss of votes in recent hours.

4. When Al pulls ahead, I'm sure Norm will follow through on his promise...

...and spare the poor voters of Minnesota the cost of a recount by conceding.

5. This is just exausting.

6. De ju vu all over again. Florida 2000. Except under much better circumstances.
