#1 Gee, keep this up and they just might declare a winner by.....December 2014.

Is there some reason they can't just have a special election and be done with it once and for all?

#2 The Special Election would still have the same cast of characters who were in place when they created the first mess in the original election. Why would you expect something different? I guess they could import some Iraqis who have recent experience in 'fair' elections to administer it.

#3 Um no. This election was goofy because you had three candidates. The independent, as I recall, got about 12% of the vote, and Coleman and Franken-the-clown split the rest. You could have a run-off with just the two.

#4 I just went to the link thinking there had to be more to this story...like why haven't those absentee ballots already been counted? It's not an unreasonable question, is it?
