Far be it for me to make fun of someone for having long hair, but...

I don't have time to read 12 pages of posts - Did Franken win or what?

Happy Monkey 02-10-2009 03:55 PM
Yes, but it's not official until the lawsuit is over.

glatt 02-10-2009 03:55 PM
Not yet.

Last I read, the courts authorized a review of another 4000+ votes.

A review of absentee ballots that have already been rejected twice.

And, as I mentioned above, even if a significant number of those rejections are overturned, Coleman would have to win them by a significant margin. For the required margin to be less than 10%, well over 1000 ballots would have to be found to have twice been incorrectly rejected.

Again, that is not that Coleman would win if he gets a full quarter of his requested ballots counted. That's how many he needs counted if he wants to be able to win with less than a double digit advantage over Franken - something that this election does not seem to give much hope for.

Nobody will ever believe or trust the winner, and I think we all agree that's what's important.

Look at Jesse Ventura's early career for why he really pulled it off; being a SEAL tends to get you pretty solidly grounded. Al's got nothing of the kind in his resumé. Too, I think being a former SEAL is also why Jesse Ventura was a one-term Governor. He did not morph into a slickster of a politician, and I bet he didn't acquire much of a taste for it.

Huh? What?

No, someone accidentally mentioned her name way earlier in the thread in a list of other people who were banned--OC herself was never banned, she just disappeared for awhile.

classicman 02-12-2009 05:55 PM
Oh, that s right tw was citing OC as an example - thanks.
