Franken the new senator in Minnesota?

Published on January 5th, 2009

Daylife/Getty Images

Democrat Al Franken will be declared the winner of the tight U.S. Senate contest in Minnesota, emerging from a ballot recount with a slim margin over Republican Norm Coleman…

“At the moment, Franken has a 225-vote lead,” after the weekend counting of what were deemed the last uncounted absentee ballots, said Minnesota Secretary of State Mark Ritchie, a Democrat who oversaw the process.

Ritchie said unless the supreme court acts on Coleman’s request and orders more ballots to be counted, he will reconvene the state’s Canvassing Board on Monday to certify Franken as the winner of the November 4 contest.

Even so, Coleman’s campaign said it will likely challenge the result, which would require the state supreme court’s chief justice to appoint three judges to investigate its claims…

The recount of some 2.4 million votes cast for the pair has swung back and forth over several weeks. Coleman initially held the edge, but his narrow victory margin necessitated the recount under state law.

“The recount has been done so precisely, and so transparently,” it would be difficult to envision a challenge succeeding, Ritchie said.

If that’s the case, do you think that will keep the Republicans from dragging it out?

Yeah, too bad Normie doesn’t have the Supreme Court in his daddy’s pocket, huh? They could keep recounting, and if he ever pulled ahead, shut down the counting and declare him the winner.

# 10 Mister Justin said, on January 5th, 2009 at 7:58 am

Thank you. I did enjoy that.

As an aside, I basically figure that any time a republican is “for” some hot ticket issue, their private life is as deep as possible in the “against” side of it… Foley was a prime candidate… and Wide Stance Craig.

Yeah, his wife is pretty hot, especially for a Republican. Most of those gals are dried-up wrinkly prunes.

And Norm has a reputation for “banging cocktail waitresses two at a time”, to quote the late, great Mo Greene of Las Vegas.

The Repubs should count their blessings though; at least he hasn’t been caught in the boys’ room with some guy’s boner in his mouth.

Why should it create any worse blood than Coleman snatching the Senate seat away in 2002? If Paul Wellstone hadn’t died in that mysterious plane crash shortly before the election, he’d be the senator now. And Wellstone’s last-minute replacement (Fritz Mondale) almost beat Normie, even though he was viewed by most as being somewhat past his prime (he was first elected MN senator in 1964).

The bottom line for Norm Coleman is, he needs the money. The word locally is that he got in way too deep on a major renovation of a house that was too expensive to begin with. He probably still has a big war chest of money that was contributed just to finance recount challenges. So yes, I think he’ll sue and hope for a miracle.

Gee, he never offended me. Although if I were a tight-assed Republican puritan, I might have been offended by his wife’s sexually provocative pictures.

On the other hand, I AM offended by Coleman’s scandal (which the drive-by media seems to ignore), where the FBI is investigating him for into allegations made before Election Day that his pajama pal Nasser Kazeminy was trying to funnel money to Coleman through his wife’s business.

Coleman is a laughingstock. He’s an unabashed pussy hound, his wife is posing for naughty pictures, and now he’s being investigated for fraud by the FBI. Not to mention that clothing from Neiman-Marcus that his Special Friend got for him and the little lady…

It’s true what they say about the right wing: scratch that sanctimonious Family Values veneer, and you find an evil sinner as bad as any.

Minnesota should thank the poll worker who found those hundreds of ballets in her car after the election. Funny how they were all for Franken.

The travesty is not that Franken may eventually win. Considering Franken’s psychotic views, he is what you might call extreme justice for the people of Minnesota.

The travesty is that political corruption is the winner and the citizens are the losers… again.

Hey, that explains it all! A die-hard Dem FrankenFile realized that he was trailing in the polls, and went home and doctored up a few hundred ballots on her home computer, then pretended that she “found” them in her car.

And the forgery was so good, it got by not only the corrupt and feckless Democratic judges, but the hypercritical and always-alert Republican ones too!

That wasn’t the “line of defense”. That’s what Fritz Knaak, the lawyer for Coleman said, instead of “Woops, my bad, I was full of shit and so was Sean Hannity and so was the WSF and so was Brit Hume”, after it was revealed to be yet another Repuglican hoax.

# 42 jim h said, on January 5th, 2009 at 12:59 pm

‘contempt’, the “ballots in the car” story turned out to be phony.

The recount has been done fairly and it would be nice if Coleman would gracefully concede. However, that isn’t what the Republican party wants to do; and as I said previously, Coleman really wants the job (for which I don’t blame him).

At this point, it’s about the next election. The losing party wants to at least start tarnishing the name of the winning candidate. The Democrats would be doing the same thing if the situation were reversed.

You’re right. An honest, intelligent Senator, who will do what’s right.

And just admit it, will you? The whole “Dem Flunkie Finds Suspicious ‘lost’ Ballots in Car” thing was a hoax. A sham. A Swift-Boat escapade gone bad. There was absolutely nothing to it. And even when Normie’s lawyer admits as much (to the extent that Normie’s lawyer could ever tell the truth), the die-hard neocons still want to snigger and allude to some kind of imaginary “cover-up”. Christ.

The recount was done fairly, and in a timely manner. No last-minute Supreme Court decisions giving Normie the seat. If Coleman had won, I’d say “darn, oh well. better luck in 6 years”, not try the sleazy Repug tactic of flinging shit and hoping some of it sticks.

Oh, for Christ’s sake. Who told you that, Bill O’LoofahPad? Do you think that by just repeating bullshit garbage over and over again, actual people are going to believe some of it?

There are 3,199,134 registered voters in MN, according to the MN Secretary of State:

http://sos.state.mn.us/home/index.asp?page=531

And there have been about 2,800,000 votes cast in the MN 2008 election (including those for Franken, Coleman, and the Independence, Libertarian, Constitution parties and write-ins).

That leaves about 400,000 registered voters who did not vote.

Nice try, but not NEARLY good enough.

I asked where you got the numbers of 9,578 registered voters and 9,724 votes cast. That was your only “proof” that there were any irregularities in the ballot recount.

Rather than answer that simple question (you didn’t just make the numbers up out of whole cloth, did you??), you direct me to the web site of discredited toe-sucking Dick Morris, where a Repug hack posts a fact-free diatribe, listing claims by a nameless “Democratic election official” and some unfounded mumbo jumbo about them Nigra activists at ACORN.

There isn’t a single fact (other than that the Executive Director of the Republican National Lawyers Association wants donations) in the entire article. More of the usual huffing and puffing about “outrage” and “stolen votes”, with absolutely no evidence for even a single vote being “stolen”.

I’m going to ask you one more time: Where did you get the alleged numbers of 9,578 registered voters and 9,724 votes cast in a “Franken precinct”??

I guess, metaphorically speaking, all roads DO lead to Ramsey County, where Franken won fair and square, just as he did state-wide.

Franken’s well-deserved victory was unanimously certified yesterday by the state Canvassing Board.

Of course, Coleman just can’t let it go. Rather than concede defeat like a gentleman, his lawyers are going to court. Note what Coleman’s weasel-in-chief says in the Strib about the court debacle:

“No one knows how long that might take, but Coleman attorney Fritz Knaak said their case will pivot in part on constitutional issues, such as the equal protection clause, that typically are decided by the U.S. Supreme Court..

They’re hoping to pull a Bush 2000 here, and get those judges that Pappy has in his pocket to pull a rabbit out of a hat yet again.

Note that even Coleman’s weasel-in-chief says NOTHING about any “stolen votes”.

HAW HAW HAW!!! You’re like FuckUp and his “protein cells”, but he at least had the good sense to STFU and slink away with his tail between his legs when his bullshit was called in public.

Why do dipshits continually post obvious BS and think they can spin away from it by challenging someone else’s gray matter? hahahahahah.

Why can’t they just learn from their mistakes and go forward?

SAY!!!!!!! Mustard, speaking of “such things” when is the last time you made an error? Ever make one????

In advance: hahahahahahahah!!!!!!!!

Peek-a-boo, ‘tempt…I see you. Come on out now, little man, and admit you made up that bullshit about “stolen” votes.

Franken won fair and square, and Lingerie Man can’t face the facts.

And neither can you, little man.

Put on the big boy pants, and admit it. There is no place in the entire state of Minnesota where there were more votes cast than registered voters.

Figures you’re a Coleman supporter.

Bullshitter.

I had no intention of keeping you in suspense this long but watching you whine like a little girl is more fun than I could have ever imagined. Heck, just watching you sway between sanity and madness is worth the price of admission.

Liberals (like you) are so predictable and great fun to mess with.

Forget it, son. Your credibility is in the shitter, for good.

Your childish games only reveal you to be a Repuglican through and through. Big talk, no action.

Bullshitter.

Hee hee! Sucking up to ‘tempt in an effort to provide smokescren for him being BUSTED on BULLSHIT, are ya? You shameless suck-ass. It’s not going to help….’tempt will be twisting in the wind as long as he’s here on dvorak dot org slash blog.

You’re shitting outside the toilet, m’hijito.

‘tempt

Have you truly thrown your reputation (such as it was) down the loo?

Admitting that you lied, bald-facedly, about Senator Franken’s election? And about Norm “Lingerie” Coleman’s unethical, illegal, and immoral attempts to steal the victory from the rightful victor?

Tsk.

# 78 Mister Mustard said, on January 7th, 2009 at 3:46 pm

‘tempt… oh Contempt… where have you gone, little man?

I don’t know why I’m being so good to you, but here I go again.

You claimed that a “Franken precinct” in Minnesota logged 9,724 votes when there were only 9578 registered voters.

Against my better judgment, I’m giving you yet another opportunity to back up your allegation.

Come on, little man. I know you’ve got it in you.

# 79 Mister Mustard said, on January 7th, 2009 at 10:10 pm

‘tempt? Oh ‘TEMPIE… yoo hoo … are you there ‘tempie?

Come on, little fella. I’m on tenterhooks! My breath is bated!

I want to know where you got your facts that a “Franken precinct” in Minnesota logged 9,724 votes when there were only 9578 registered voters.

All-y all-y oxen free… come on out now, ‘tempie!!

Here I am ready to reveal my source when imagine my joy to find further ravings. I applaud you on entertainment you can’t buy anywhere, and you are providing it for free.

I have discovered that witnessing your further decent into madness is much more gratifying than just proving I am right and you are a fool.

Let the show continue – I can hardly wait for the second act!

Where’s the beef?

Wow if it isn’t bobbo! I’m surprised you took your face out of Mustard’s butt long enough to toss an insult. I guess that makes you an enema.

# 85 bobbo said, on January 8th, 2009 at 4:04 pm

Contempt for the truth: no, I also took time to link to a site reporting NO COUNTY in Minnesota has 9578 registered voters. (#71). So, different websites can report different numbers==but any website has more credibility than anyone advertising themselves as “Contempt for the Truth.”

Did you pick that name or was it court ordered in your release program?

#84 – ‘tempt

Aw gosh, son. Make it easy on yourself. Just admit that you were lying, and in your bitterness over Normie losing, you just made up some figures to support your allegation of voter “fraud”.

No place in the state of Minnesota reported more votes than they had registered voters. Not a one. Not Ramsey County, not Hennepin County, not Anoka County, not Mille Lacs County, not Kandiyohi County, no county. Not even Lac Qui Parle County, in case you were going to try and say that the lake told you about the “fraud”.

Just like with Martha Stewart and Richard Nixon, the coverup is always worse than the crime.

So admit it, won’t you? You lied to us, ‘temptie.

# 87 Mister Mustard said, on January 8th, 2009 at 10:49 pm

‘tempt? Tempie? 9,724 votes? 9578 voters?

Come on, son. You can do it.

# 88 Mister Mustard said, on January 9th, 2009 at 10:03 am

tweedlee deedlee deet, tweedlee deedlie deet ….. (whistling, drumming fingers on table top)…

‘tempt, are you going to provide the data, or not? You know….9,724 votes? 9578 voters?

You can do it, son. If you try.

# 91 BigBoyBC said, on January 12th, 2009 at 9:47 pm

I Don’t really want to get in the middle between Mustard and temp, but…

The WJS did have a story about damaged ballots, that could be the reason for the mis-match between voters and votes.

“Under Minnesota law, election officials are required to make a duplicate ballot if the original is damaged during Election Night counting. Officials are supposed to mark these as “duplicate” and segregate the original ballots. But it appears some officials may have failed to mark ballots as duplicates, which are now being counted in addition to the originals. This helps explain why more than 25 precincts now have more ballots than voters who signed in to vote. By some estimates this double counting has yielded Mr. Franken an additional 80 to 100 votes.”

Well, Biggie, it wasn’t exactly a “story” as in a vetted, researched, NEWS ARTICLE.

It was an unsigned editorial on the Opinion page in a newspaper whose Opinion pages is world-renowned for it’s right-wing views. No source to back it up. People can say anything they want to in an editorial, a letter to the editor, or a blog posting.

In other words, the moral equivalent of an off-hand remark by Loofah Pad O’Reilly or Anal Cyst Limbaugh.

So.

I’m still waiting for ‘temptie to provide some evidence of his absurd allegation…it’s looking more and more as though he heard it on the Loofah Pad or Anal Cyst show, as I seriously doubt he reads the WSJ. He may have given it a shot after Murdoch bought the paper, but abandoned the attempt after realizing that his reading comprehension was no match for the newspaper.
