Hanging by a thread in Minnesota

By Michelle Malkin  •  November 10, 2008 03:36 PM

Just keeping you posted on the Coleman-Franken vote count in Minnesota. Norm Coleman is hanging by a thread:

Minnesota-based Power Line has been keeping tabs. And so has Ed Morrissey.

Keep your fingers crossed.

Gah:

    Trust me, I’m from King county Washington and we’ve seen this kind of thing before. As in, back in 2004 with the governor’s race. The republican ended up with about a 250-vote margin. It went into recount, with the democrat moving to within 39 votes after the second count. It was said that KC election workers (with democrats running the county operation at the behest of the liberal democrat Ron Sims County Executive) were seen running the same democrat ballots through five times, & such. In the final hand-count, democrat volunteer counters were seen cheating in the piles of votes. They eventually stole it after the third count. King county elections has NEVER explained why there were 3,000 more votes than voters. !!!

    Fraud and more fraud. But the fact that the voters of Minnesota allowed a creep like Franken to be this close is shocking. Maybe the people of Minnesota are not smart enough to be voting in the first place. Ventura? Franken? Maybe we should drop Minnesota as a state.

    Fraud, fraud and more fraud so much fraud that nothing can be done about it…except form a domestic police force as strong and as well equipped as the US Military, tanks, fighter planes, bombers? So as to be able to ruthlessly crush any objection to our NEW form of government?

    With Al Franken’s big mouth and somewhat violent outbursts, I’d say national Democrats are every bit as concerned about a Franken victory in Minnesota as we are – they know he’d make a mockery of them and the Senate!

    Agreeing with what someone else said – what pushes Dems over the top in Minnesota is Minneapolis-St. Paul and also the NE portion of the state (St. Louis County).

    Being from Minnesota, I lost faith in their ability to vote when Mondale won it in 84, and of course Jesse Ventura doesn’t help matters..

    Coleman isn’t loathed–we have a Ventura Effect coming into play here. Barkley took 15+% of the vote, and that’s why it’s close. With only two choices, I’m sure cooler heads would’ve prevailed by a larger margin.

    However, as each day passes, Franken “uncovers” more “irregularities” and “disenfranchised voters” so I’m sure by the end of the month, he’ll have somewhere between 58-62% of the vote.

    Just curious…what state do you live in? Just to let you know, I live in Minnesota, and dropping us as a state because we are “blue” is rather drastic, don’t you think? I bet I could find a dozen things about your state that could warrent being kicked out of the union. Them’s fightin’ words!

    Cold-Cash Jefferson, Bridge-To-Nowhere Stevens, Wide-stance Craig, the mayor of Washington, D. C. (forgot his name), and many other deadbeats, convicted criminals, and amoral people who do things like forfeit mutliple mortgages, consort with terrorists, and leave their girlfriend to drown in a submerged vehicle…all elected and re-elected. And now this sick fecal stain Franken, so close to being elected to the Senate. That’s why we call our electorate “the sheeple”. A cold wind is blowing in this country, and I am deeply concerned.

    Nuss,

    Marion Barry – Mayor of DC and originator of the now, wonderfully oft quoted line: “The B**ch set me up!”. A shining example of class..

    Thanks to the Dems in DC for reelecting this guy and giving the rest of us something to laugh about..

    Talk about creepy, reading the Power Line coverage has been just that. It is creepy how all the votes being “uncovered” are 100% FOR Smalley. But, perhaps more importantly is the extremely poor and incompetent press coverage of this. Check out Power Line for the details.

    Ignorance, our most costly commodity – paraphrased from Rush Limbaugh.

    That Franken could get even 5% of the vote from a sane set of voters makes you wonder who votes in that state.
