Norm Coleman's Term Officially Expires

Count. Recount. File legal motion. Recount. File legal motion.

It might be faster for the next United States senator from Minnesota to get to Washington on a treadmill at this point, considering the incremental progress/regress of the state's general election.

As of noon Saturday, Minnesota was down to just one Senate seat when the term of the incumbent Norm Coleman, a Republican, officially expired with still no resolution in his race against Al Franken, the Democratic challenger.

Seriously people, if we can't hold secure elections with easily & accurately countable (& recountable) results, we don't have any kind of democracy to speak of. This is ridiculous.

Republicans will continue their efforts to subvert democracy in any way possible.

Harry Reid: The Most Corrupt of the Corrupt?

After I linked in an earlier column to the analysis of legal scholars who had opined that the Senate isn’t authorized to deny the duly appointed Roland Burris membership in its club, several other preeminent jurists came forth with a different conclusion based on reasoning that the first group had apparently overlooked.

Recount Complete..­. Franken won!!!

Now the GOP will continue to do everything in their power to subvert democracy and undermine progress while they cheer the enormous damage they have already inflicted on America.

[MNmommy]

Where the heck is the headline that Franken gained 176 votes today?

No excuses any more, folks.
In 17 days, it's our turn.
Time to get started fixing the country!

[StellaRay]

Oh happy day. Coleman is getting smaller and smaller in Al Franken's rearview mirror. 225 votes ahead!
