THE DNC SAYS ENOUGH ALREADY YOU LOST!It's been 24 weeks since the Senate election in Minnesota between incumbent Republican Norm Coleman and comedian-turned-Democrat Al Franken.
And still the wrangling continues.
The latest news was Tuesday's development. A three-judge panel in the state ruled thatFranken "received the highest number of votes legally cast." At last count, the former "Saturday Night Live" performer was ahead by 312 votes out of nearly 3 million coast.
But Coleman has vowed to take his case to the state Supreme Court, arguing that more than 4,400 absentee ballots have yet to be counted. And both Gov. Tim Pawlenty, a Republican, and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada, a Democrat, seem content to let him take one last appeal to the state Supreme Court before this movie comes to a conclusion.
But Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, said it was time for Coleman to concede, accusing him of putting his own ambition ahead of voter interests.
Of course Democrats say he should concede!
ReplyDeleteIf you examine the facts you'll see the irregularities in the recount, including that after selective "recounts," the total number of votes cast increased by the amount of the votes recount - the votes were counted twice in precincts leaning towards Franken.
Keep up the fight, Norm!
ReplyDeletewhose facts should we look at? there seem to be different facts coming from different sources? where did you pull your information from?
ReplyDeleteIn general, is there ever a case in which your facts may be wrong? Is there ever a case when a Republican is wrong? They can't always be right, right?
That's why it's in the court presently.
ReplyDeleteSure, 1:58 - for example, look at what I said about Perry - I don't support most of what he says.
ReplyDeleteThe facts that I have seen show that Franken performed selected recounts and then wanted to stop when he was winning, even though the numbers didn't make sense.
As USA1 says, that's why it's in the courts.
Even the Wall Street Journal thinks there's something fishy going on, and wants Senator Coleman to continue fighting!
