1. Not to cause trouble but I can't help to find irony in all this.
after the 2004 election on Franken's show he wouldn't talk about any Ohio ballot trouble or that the election was stolen yet again or anything like that.



Now look at what happened with this one.

3. PERFECT poetic justice!
I'm not one bit sorry for him, nor would I send him money for this legal fight, if I had that money to spend.

Tough shit, Al. This time it came around fairly quickly.

Sux to be you.

4. True.
My hope is that Sen Al(hopefully certified soon) changed from his own election recount mess.

Personal experience can be a powerful influencial tool for change. I'm hoping this whole experience will turn Al into a paper ballot warrior.

Peace

6. Norm Coleman..the other option.
I'll gladly take Al Franken and believe he may actually redeem himself as a progressive.

I'm at least willing and wanting to give him a chance.

Over Coleman? I'll jump for joy knowing that we've defeated him and replaced him with Franken.

I'm fully aware of the egg Franken laid as a talk radio personality regarding Ohio in '04.

I'm just saying that I'm willing to give him a chance.

7. Well, MN does use paper ballots and has one of the most respected election systems in the nation.
If it didn't, does anyone believe that Franken would have taken a 225 vote lead? MN has a legal process in regards to this very, very close election and it needs to play out to it's conclusion. What is happening in MN is a great example of how the system works.
