#1 Same as any other liberal, if you can't win at the polls, go to the courts, or in this case the Senate.

#2 Maybe they can help him be funny too. Shame to be a failed comedian as well as a failed senator.

#3 So far I haven't read anywhere that these ballots were improperly disqualified.
he wants the People's Voice to be Heard but if he doesn't like what he hears he throws a tantrum and goes to the courts.Sore Loser, or maybe just Loser in general, indeed.

#4 Franken was a whinny bitch before the election, he is a whinny bitch now, and he will be a whinny bitch after. He is, after all, a liberal.

#5 No recount can be considered accurate or complete until all the ballots cast by lawful voters are counted,

Wouldn't this come under the heading of be careful what you wish for?

Any guesses as to how many unlawful voters voted for Frankenfurter?

#6 From what I read, the vote recounters are doing exactly that ... they are recounting the votes that were actually processed on Nov. 4th. They really don't want to get into the business of reviewing whether discarded ballots should now be counted or not. :-/

#7 He's not even a member yet, and he wants his "colleagues" to judge an election.

Buffoon.

#8 Does the word "recount" even apply any more? Does this have anything to do with counting?

#9 The insiders from both campaigns say Franken's real goal is to keep Coleman from being seated when the new Senate is sworn in, and then draw things out as long as possible.

That is why he is making so many rediculous challenges.

#10 News reports say that the recount has increased Coleman's lead to 340 or so as of early a.m. today.

#11 Was'nt it Stalin who said?

"It matters not how the people vote, it only matters who counts the votes."

#12 This is usually the time Democrats find ballots misplaced behind the washing machine.
