Norm Coleman: "I'm A Winner"

Minnesota Independent:

U.S. Sen. Norm Coleman broke his silence on the recount in Minnesota's election for the seat he holds today, saying "I'm a winner" and predicting that most of the mounting number of challenged ballots -- including his campaign's apparently -- will be dismissed.

Of the Coleman and Al Franken campaigns' increasingly aggressive ballot challenges, Coleman said, "There are games being played on both sides and it would be great if people put the games aside." He disavowed personal involvement in the recount's nitty-gritty -- "I'm not involved in day-to-day recount stuff" -- but offered this apparently informed opinion: "I would bet that most of the challenges are going to be dismissed."

Asked about any awkwardness in his position as a sitting senator who may or may not have won re-election, Coleman responded: "I'm still senator. I believe I'm a winner. ... I'm proceeding with the belief that we prevailed the first night, prevailed in the certification and we'll prevail again."

Note to HuffPo headline writer: You misspelled "weener."

[bby328]

Norm the Coleman knows how to spell wiener . . . his whole life.

[newshawk14]

Coleman obviously had a typo, and meant to say that he is a wiener and not a winner.
Good luck Al.

If the current trend continues Franken will win by a slim margin (roughly 125 votes). Given that most questioned votes tend to be Democratic ballots, the trend should continue unless there was a significant accounting error. Any canvassing error should have been challenged and corrected before the recount started by Coleman's lawyers, therefore I'm declaring Franken the winner. (Unlike Coleman, this is the first time I have declared victory.)

LOL

Norm, everyone in Minnesota got those mailers that said, "YOU MAY ALREADY BE A WINNER!"
They didn't mean the senate race, wiener boy.
