BTW....signicance here.  If Franken's cronies can steal this seat....

58 Dems w/the two Dem leaning Independent Senators.....would give them the majic 60 super majority.

One of them is Leiberman, who they were ready to toss out of the coalition, but .... have backed off now that they may be able to steal Coleman's seat, and get Fraken in.

more like Washington state 2004

where they kept FINDING ballot boxes full of votes

Democrat won with a vote tally that was higher than the number of registered voters

I believe I recall something from 2000, that if oyu got millions of votes and the difference is within a few hundred, its pointless to recount because you'er within the margin fo error
you will always get a few hundred wrong wehn you count a million votes

Your all saying the American democratic system is flawed and useless?

Who would of thunk it...:P.

its crazy here in minnesota.  first of all because the election was so close by state law if the election is within .5% then there is an automatic recount. however, they say the recount will take over a month and cost close to $100,000 dollars.

Coleman won. regardless of whether or not Franken is trying to steal votes.

This is a bit more balanced than Fox:

"Staffers for Al Franken, who once worried that the Minnesota Democrat would fall short against Republican Sen. Norm Coleman even after a recount, now seem optimistic that their candidate will be thrust into the lead before the recount even takes place.

The Franken team had their spirits bolstered today when it was announced that the deficit they face in their still-to-be-decided election against Norm Coleman was reduced by 100 votes.

A county official in Minnesota had accidentally entered 24 votes for Franken instead of 124 when he and other election officials submitted the tally at 5:25 A.M Wednesday. And so, the Democratic challenger is now just 237 votes behind the Republican incumbent. If history is any guide, the results could keep changing even before the state gets to its automatic recount.

Currently, Minnesota's 87 counties are conducting a review of their election results. During this process, the vote totals for the two candidates have gone up and down with some regularity. While Franken picked up 100 votes in Pine County, Coleman received 11 additional votes in Sherburne. In another county, absentee ballots were mistakenly typed in twice on election night, impacting 250 votes there.

Taken as a whole, the situation is far less stable than the Coleman campaign has been claiming. And it could get even cloudier.

During the 2006 Minnesota Senate race, the vote totals for both candidates changed far more drastically than the roughly 300-vote margin that currently separates the two candidates this year. In that election, Republican Mark Kennedy lost 3,520 votes between the day after the election and the final certification. Meanwhile, Democrat Amy Klobuchar lost 666 votes. All in all, the size of her victory actually went up by 2,854 votes.

If Franken does take the lead before the recount, his campaign can point to a statement made by Coleman just the other day in which he insisted that, were he in Franken's position, he would take himself out of the race.

If I were trailing, "I would step back," said the Senator. "I just think the need for a healing process is so important [and] the possibility that any change of magnitude is so remote."

"Seems the Democrats are doing their best to STEAL another election."

Another election? I'm sorry, but the correct way to say would have been "Democrats are finally taking notes from Bush's playbook".

Remember when Dubya stole the 1940 Houston congressional seat for LBJ?

That WAS W in the cowboy hat with his buds, toasting a ballot box with whiskey in some parking lot? You know the photo I mean

There's plenty of case data that says the dems got well run fraud engines in a bunch of towns

Anyhow keep off personalities argue cases

Yes.....Yell,

1960:

Also let us not forget the Republicans stealing the Presidency for Kennedy in Ohio in 1960.
also that grand old Democrat Richard Nixon just conceded the election "For the good of the country" by not fighting the results.

Looky, Looky.....the Three stooges, Nothing to say, and all the attention on 'Ole BW....my my....my fans.

the FOOL,  SKOE, and CANADIAN.....Welcome.

Imagine, even after all was done and told in 2000, in Florida.....Bush won
I wonder, will you boneheads EVER let it lie ?
2500 Felons voted in Broward County, Fl.....illegally.
News agencies called the polls closed, an hour early, "Forgetting" about the Solidly Republican Pan-handle (western part in the Central Zone) of Florida.
A Florida Supreme Court that had NO BUSINESS ruling on an election, that then the SUPREME Court had to rule on..... illegally.

But, hey,.....it all worked out for the best...

But, you three stooges, keep drinking the cool aide.
Even though you snott noses probably couldnt even vote......because you were not Americans  ???  hehe......dopes.

A] It doesn't matter. They're doing a recount anyway.

B] Maybe they were just incompetent or made a mistake. Wouldn't surprise me. It's bound to happen in such a large election. Large swings aren't unprecedented.

C] Filibustering is retarded anyway, especially the soft, cushy way it is now.

Not to mention the depends!

Oh,  I got it.
There was fraud in "ALLEGEDLY" Illinois that didnt change the outcome of Illinois going for Kennedy, ....
But, that makes it ok that the "ALLEGED" Democrat fraud in OHIO tipped the balance to Kennedy.

So, that made NIXON Scared to recount ??

Not that Nixon was a stand up guy and a patriot FIRST, an ambitious man second.
Not that Nixon could POSSIBLY believe the good of the country was better than his ambition ??

Nixon had more integrity than ANY individual I have ever seen to occupy such a high office.

*** EDIT in,.... besides Ronald Reagan that is..... ****

TWO Times he did what was best for the country.....
Election nigh 1960,
and avoiding impeachment and resigning the presidency..... He might have been impeached by the House, but it was likely he would avoid a trial in the Senate.
He stepped down anyway.

Please.......what is it here ??
