#1 Let's hope the margin holds.

#2 I can't remember where I saw it (Jeff Goldstein's place?) but if Franken had one, it could have induced California to trump with Senator Carrot Top. It was one of the few things that actually made me laugh last night.

#3 So far it is Coleman by just over 700 votes. Automatic recall.

#4 Oops! recall = recount.

#5 With 100% of the precincts counted Norm leads by 601 votes. Franken has asked for a do over recount.

I am proud to say my town voted strongly for Colman, almost matching the number of dead people in Minneapolis who voted for Franken. Go Norm!

#6 What do they mean former comedian?
He's playing a politician now, and I'm sure he'll be right there for the next 4 years, being a pain in the arse.

#7 I can't believe the race is even close. Franken is such a nutjob.

#8 JohnQC:
Franken had much more money - almost all of it from out of state.

You know he has to be a whackjob when even the Red Star Tribune endorses Coleman.

#9 "I can't believe the race is even close. Franken is such a nutjob."

Minnesota politics are really quite simple. Get the Labor endorsement and...yer gold Jerry! Four words...Employee Free Choice Act.
