Title: Norm Coleman keeps his seat...

He squeaked it out over Al Franken.  :clap:
It was just reported on Fox.

This is good.  It should have never been this close, but the idiots in St.Paul and Minneapolis would vote for a plunger if it ran as a Democrat.  Coleman is a good man.  He was a strong voice in the Oil For Food scandal a few years back.

Minnesota will likely go to a re-count.  The last numbers that I saw indicated a difference of <800 votes in over 2.5 million cast, an incredibly close shave.

It appears that incumbent Republican senators held on by their fingernails in Oregon, Georgia, and Alaska also.  But I must confess that I find this to be cold comfort right now.

I'm so happy Franken went down.  Even by a small margin.
I'm flabbergasted that people like Murtha, and even Lautenberg in NJ, were put back in office.
I guess in the case of Murtha's constituents they like being called redneck bigots.  ???

I'm not looking for comfort Ithaca-37.  There is none to be found.  I feel the same way you do.  I just hate Al Franken.  >:(

It appears Coleman will win, but a recount will more than likely be demanded by Franken.  His defeat was one of the few highlights of a otherwise disill night.
