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."

Something about counting chickens comes to mind...

or like the fate of the poor turkeys Sarah Palin didn't pardon.

[ElBruce]

OK, there's how he sees the recount going, now how about those bribery lawsuits?

[MochisMom]

Like Beck said...

I'm a Winner...I can FEEL it.

no norm--you're a loser. go away!

[abbeyroad]

that's not what his wife said to me in bed last night.

[roshni]

Yuck! You have no standards.

[lisakaz2]

Gawd, I sure hope this gooober goes away.

[GlenRast]

That's right on par with his whining about Al not rejecting the mandatory recount. Like many Republicans he believes if he said it then it must come true.

[katocat]

His dentist is certainly a winner.

Nice caps.

[indy girl]

They look more like plastic Halloween teeth from Costumes-R-Us.

[planetjeffy]

I think he meant wiener, not winner.

[jazzman]

Coleman the winner. Minnesota the loser.

[Larkinvos]

Norm, you may wind up eventually winning the recount,
but you will NEVER be a winner.
(You may already be a weiner.)

HP and their typos!

It's "I'm a whiner" not "I'm a winner".

SHEESH!

*squints*

Oh, I thought it said "I'm a weiner."

;-D

[ThinkCreeps]

Another bloody republican idiot who can't spell - it's whinner!

[Manchurian]

Whinner? Is that a freshly coined word meaning "whining winner"?

[night owl]

He must have read that on the letter he got from Publisher's Clearinghouse.
