   I bet that’s the real reason Leiberman kept his committee chairmanship today. Once Franken steals this, Joe will be shown the door.

   The mysteriously dwindling lead of Coleman up to this point is a sure-fire sign that the forces at work in this recount will see to it that Franken wins.

   You can bet they are going to steal this election for Franken.

   Nope – The SCOTUS is still relatively balanced. The Obamamessiah hasn’t made his appointments yet. But they WILL take it all the way. Libs hate to lose.

    Ali Franken and the 40 Thieves (or 1200 lawyers) will not let Coleman win this fair and square.

    Statistically Impossible?

    Virtually all of Franken’s new votes came from just three out of 4130 precincts, and almost half the gain (246 votes) occurred in one precinct — Two Harbors, a small town north of Duluth along Lake Superior — a heavily Democratic precinct where Obama received 64 percent of the vote. None of the other races had any changes in their vote totals in that precinct.

    To put this change in perspective, that single precinct’s corrections accounted for a significantly larger net swing in votes between the parties than occurred for all the precincts in the entire state for the presidential, congressional, or state house races.

    Every election official who submitted amended post election ballots should be asked to take a polygraph test. For those who refuse they should have their precincts audited with a fine tooth comb. Any irregularities and it’s off to jail.

    I do not give a rip what their party affiliation is either, but histroy says they will be Dems.

    Don’t worry, I’m sure Frankenstein has already planted all the votes he needs to win by now. That’s the Democrat way! When you can’t win, cheat, cheat and cheat more. Create some new “ballots” and slip them right in there! If that doesn’t work, then sue, sue and sue some more until you get the judge or the results you need!

    Just like Governor Fraudoire did 4 years ago after two recounts showed she still wasn’t winning! Just like Obama did when he first ran for the state legislature, pick off your opponents one by one by challenging their qualifications by any means necessary! Or illegal dig up dirt on your opponent by releasing SEALED court documents! See? It’s pretty easy. In fact, I should write about book about all this!

    Oh no, wait. The Democrats already WROTE THE BOOK on cheating in elections.

    Please, let’s not go there. The two words I thought could never be linked together were Senator and Franken. If he gets in, he’s gotta be the most humorless sack of excrement, besides Chucky Schmucky Schumer (among others), to ever hit the political scene.

    This has got to be the weirdest, up is down, election cycle I’ve ever seen.

    I’m going to be aiding in the recount . I’ll be given the unenviable task of eyeballing the ballots and making sure the Frankenstein people don’t do a Gore on them. No chads though. it’s simple to an intelligent person what the intent of the voter is on these ballots. But that won’t stop stupid liberals and Democrats.

    While looking another point, I stumbled on a fact that I had forgotten but helps to explain this (I suppose).

    In 1984, Minnesota was the only state that did not vote for President Reagan.

    Nearly 25 years later, I suppose not much has changed.

    Exactly. Democrats never recount the entire state, just the districts in which they have power.

    I remember hearing something about a law professor saying the only true election results are the first count. Any recount is done with the knowledge of who has “already won.” So, the bias is even stronger to support your candidate.

    Along with term limits, there should be a constitutional amendment limiting the number of recounts to 1. And the candidate demanding the recount must pay the entire amount out of their own pocket, win or lose.

    You wish. The democrats will do their best to exclude as many pro-conservative districts as possible, recount what wasn’t excluded, and claim victory. The best we can hope for is the same outcome as Florida.
