RIP, Franken's Senate Hopes

It appears that Al Franken's hopes of becoming the next Senator from Minnesota are falling dramatically. Despite the fact that the vote count was moving his way, Franken's deficit has grown as the recount continues.

And now it appears that Franken's last ditch efforts to add votes into the wider pool has failed. Without more ballots to count, and the recount at 88%, the chances of a legitimate Franken comeback appear slim.

Still, the Democrats are calling foul, even though it appeared that earlier, votes were just "appearing" for Franken:

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., termed the Canvassing Board's decision "cause for great concern" and called on Minnesota officials to "ensure that no voter is disenfranchised."

So hopefully Norm Coleman can sleep a little easier.

So, if the legitimate means of him dwindle, he and the Democrats will simply shift to the illegitimate.

Just as Obama did, if you can't win it legitimately you need to cheat to get in power any way you can.

Just look how Obama won all the caucuses in the primaries to beat Hillary. Won those with the help of his Chicago thugs and ACORN helped in the general election. If you can't do it on your own.. you gotta steal it anyway you can get it.

That's a retarded statement. You have no clue what you're talking about.

Yeah, it's amazingly easy to steal 8 million votes, ain't it?
