The Franken / Coleman battle for Senate seat carries on

The Minnesota Senate carries on, defeated incumbent Norm Coleman is challenging Al Franken's victory in the courts. While the slim margin of 225 votes could be realistically challenged, the fact that a recount has already been completed shows Franken the victor. The right-wing noise machine is chirping irregularities in the recount, and insist the Minnesota Supreme Court decide the matter. While attorney's from both sides are tirelessly working on their cases, the fact remains is that the people of Minnesota are without one Senator. On her own in the Senate is Amy Klobuchar (D-Mn).

What is evident in all of this, is the Republicans cannot believe they were beat by Al Franken. Hearing the right-wing pundits like Sean Hannity, Bill O' Reilly, and Rush Limbaugh, you could swear that their respective heads were exploding even saying Senator Franken. The former Saturday Night Live Star, and Air America Radio host, and liberal author Franken made a career of picking apart the disastorous decisions of the GOP. This scenario is likely to carry well into the new year, ass the courts will hear the appeals on Feb. 5th . Stay tuned.
