This has been an incredibly long road…to see Norm Coleman abandon his pursuit of the seat is a great relief…and I think a wonderful opportunity for Al to put his money where his mouth is. Having the man who wrote and read, “Lies and the Lying Liars who Tell Them” sit on a senate committee or debate legislation on the floor will, without question, be the highlight of this fall’s C-SPAN programming.

The Young Turks did a nice job on the news, “…I’ve love how he (Coleman) concedes that he’s ‘at peace with it’,…ah, you have the imprint of the (MN) Supreme Court’s foot on your ass” ha ha:

For me, this is the end of the whole shebang…the last of the 2008 holdover…the final victory. And now, we can get down to business. Congrats Al, make us proud.

Darthmouth Study shows A. Franken May Yet Win N. Coleman's senate seat.

FiveThirtyEight.com posted a Dartmouth College study that while playing down the likelyhood there was any sort of voter fraud involved in the race…in fact, what the researchers are calling “residual votes”, almost 30,000 or so, should prove to lean Al Franken’s way…well one can only hope that they do…this combined w/the recent filing of lawsuits against Coleman aledging he was the direct receipient of $75,000 cash for no apparent reason from a private corporation certainly call his chances into question…

Al Franken leading Norm Coleman in Minnesota.

According to the Minneapolis Star Tribune, Al Franken is leading the goober republican, Norm Coleman by 9 in the Minnesota senatorial race there…how awesome is that?!! Franken, whose book: Lies and the Lying Liars who Tell Them is best heard in it’s audio version read by Franken, is one of my faves…particularly the section on O’Reiley.
