Franken now only down by 120.
Franken picked up 37 and 35 respectivly and only 42% and 43% counted so far.

Franken could pick up another 80 from these two alone.

Also, it seems most of Colman's ~850 challenges are obviously for Franken.

Most challenges were votes for McCain/Franken. I admit it is odd, but sounds like a typical racist Dem voter.

1. we probably win right there (the 850 challenges)

I just got a strong feeling that the Coleman folks disputed lots of obvious votes for Franken, and Al will gain 500 on those alone, and Coleman will probably only get about 300-400 from the 850 Franken's people disputed. Just guessing, but I'm liking Al's chances.

3. The "other" guy in the race probably took more from Franken

If those people had been true Coleman supporters, they would have voted for him, but had there only been Coleman & Franken , they might have voted for Franken..
It;s how Clinton won in '92..Perot took just enough from Poppy..
