ON FRANKEN’S ARTIFICIAL RECOUNT “LEAD”…
By Michael B. Brodkorb | January 3, 2009
Al Franken’s so-called “lead” in the recount is made-up of ballots counted twice, missing ballots from Minneapolis, and certain rejected absentee ballots included in the count (without a consistent statewide standard that should have included other rejected ballots). Just remember that Team Franken has repeatedly objected, with the assistance of Secretary of State Mark Ritchie’s office, to 654 rejected absentee ballots from being counted.
This process is far from over and so please check back to Minnesota Democrats Exposed for more information.

Sorry, a 225-vote lead is almost certainly beyond Coleman’s ability to close. Even if one takes out the 130 soi disant duplicate votes and the net-46 for Franken in Minneapolis, that still leaves Franken with a 49-vote win. Coleman hasn’t been able to articulate a clear reason to have his additional 634 ballots counted (and under the MnSC ruling, Franken would have to consent to them being added in anyhow). At this point, Franken is all-but-certain to prevail in any circumstances. It’s Norm’s right to pursue a court challenge; he will have to decide whether it is in fact worth it.

My sister was part of the recount team (I promised her I wouldn’t say which one) and she tells me Coleman will win if they throw the double counts out.

Two words: Sore Loserman.

Rick S–
Your sister is wrong. After today, the math doesn’t work for Coleman, at least not with double-counts only. Again, 225-130=95. Where does Coleman come up with the extra 95? Okay, let’s pull out the 46 votes in Mpls — 95-46=49. Coleman will have to find at least 50 more votes to overtake Franken, and that assumes 1) That 100% of “double-counted” ballots break for Coleman (which is almost certainly false), 2) He can get the Minneapolis votes tossed (Minnesota law suggests he can’t), 3) That he can get the 634 extra ballots counted, and that they give him a net 50 (which is so many if‘s that we’re now into fantasyland), and 4) That absolutely none of these moves lead Franken to counter with other votes that benefit him.
Look, when Powerline suggests that it’s over for Coleman, it’s over for Coleman. He can lose with dignity — or he can go kicking and screaming. I’m betting on the latter. This is Norm, after all.
January 3rd, 2009 at 7:29 PM
Fecke, your breathless assertions are interesting but I’ll stick with a first hand account. But keep us posted if you detect any kicking or screaming going on.
January 3rd, 2009 at 7:31 PM
This process is far from over…
Meaning, of course, that ol’ Smokescreen is gonna get his ass whupped, in court, AGAIN.
Seems to me republiCons claim to detest “frivolous lawsuits.”
But that’s all ol’ Smokescreen’s filed this cycle, including the one where the Judge ruled, in writing, that Franken’s claim Normie is the fourth-most corrupt Senator is, and I quote:
“substantially accurate accurate if not literally true in every detail.
Normie is a crook, and he’s going to jail. He’s just another chump, with “R=Convict” after his name in his future.
Oh – and an extended stay at ClubFed goes with that “R=Convict,” too.
January 3rd, 2009 at 7:37 PM
Tommy: I believe that U.S. Senator Norm Coleman was re-elected. This process is far from over and I expect that Franken’s artificial lead will be exposed.
January 3rd, 2009 at 7:41 PM
The 130 duplicate ballot issue is a moot point if the Supreme Court does not grant Coleman relief on the handling of the rejected absentees. A lot of people on both sides think the Court really came down with a bizzare ruling on that issue. It never made any sense to allow either campaign to have veto authority. The absentees were dealt with in an inconsistent manner as evidenced by the filings the counties provided to the Court. That is Coleman’s point; they should have a standardized approach. Leaving this contest aside, I do not want that ruling to guide future recounts. In the end, if the Court does not rule in Coleman’s favor on the absentees, I think Coleman will forego an election contest.
January 3rd, 2009 at 7:43 PM
Michael: I know – KNOW – that a judge ruled Franken’s claim that Coleman is the Fourth Most Corrupt Senator, is “substantially accurate if not literally true in every detail.”
Coleman is ZERO for EVERY FILING since late October – what makes you think his luck is going to change?
Coleman’s headed for ClubFed, for the old-fashioned reason: he’s EARNED it.
January 3rd, 2009 at 7:46 PM
Rep. Powell–
I don’t disagree with you about the court ruling, and I’d be okay if there’s a change in the rules mandated by the court that causes the total to adjust a bit. I still don’t see this working out for Coleman in the end, and I hope that if it remains this remote that Coleman will do the right thing.
That said, as I’ve said all along, it’s his right to contest the election if he really believes he can win; I just hope that he makes his decision based on reality, and not on the breathless all-caps headlines of sycophants.
January 3rd, 2009 at 7:51 PM
If these 654 absentee voters were not to be disenfranchised then all things being equal in your (all be it) generous to Coleman scenario Coleman would need only a 50 vote net gain. From what we’ve seen today with these enormous Franken gains is that so unrealistic?
The answer is no.
Why not follow the “spirit” of our State and Fed Constitutional laws? let every vote count…seems you Democrats are returning to the olden days when you for 150 years (only stopped really after the voting rights act… that passed around 1965 didn’t it?) systematically disenfranchised millions of people and on top shamelessly stuffed the ballot box each election.
You Dems will never win the PR battle and become identified as the party of morals when you refuse time and time to take the higher road when it doesn’t suit you. Why not do the right thing since as you said the odds of losing now for Franken appear slim? Why not take the high road and pad what looks like a probable Franken victory?
January 3rd, 2009 at 8:16 PM
Gandalf — that’s true if the ballots were improperly rejected. But they may not have been. Certainly, you have nothing more than the Coleman campaign’s assertion that they weren’t to back up your claim. Certainly, county officials didn’t believe these were improperly rejected. I thought it was you guys who said ballots counted when they shouldn’t be was disenfranchising millions of voters? Or does that only apply unless you think that those votes cut against you?
January 3rd, 2009 at 8:19 PM
Gandalf, what you seem to forget is that it’s the republiCons that claimed to be “the party of morals” – led by morally bankrupt people that have caused GOP to now stand for GreedOverPrinciples.
It’s amazing how alleged conservatives have continued to lick the boots of the likes of Ron Carey here, and Karl Rove nationally.
I guess that’s because they’re ALLEGEDLY “conservative”…..
January 3rd, 2009 at 8:20 PM
Michael, you are in a fantasy world my friend. Franken won, Norm will do the right thing and concede without too much hub-bub. He is a good American, he will do what is best for America and stop this nonsense.
225 is too much of a deficit to over come as it has been illustrated time and time again.
I am proud of you Norm you WERE a decent Senator!
January 3rd, 2009 at 8:30 PM
SENATOR Al Franken.
Say it, podpeople.
SENATOR Al Franken.
Doesn’t that have a nice ring to it?
How about this:
FORMER Senator Norm Coleman.
An equally nice ring to it.
Say it again:
FORMER Senator Norm Coleman.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Nice work helping to retire your boy, Brodkorb!!!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! They sure got their money’s worth!!!
Sound the alarm!
January 3rd, 2009 at 8:48 PM
I’m so gratified that Stuart Smalley is now a United States Senator.
All of our hard work paid off.
Thanks to Mark Ritchie for maintaining a fair and accurate re-count, so the voters of Minnesota can be confident of the result.
Norm Coleman is a class act, and will be missed.
January 3rd, 2009 at 8:55 PM
Who else enjoys how Coleman’s tune has changed?
- First we shouldn’t recount at all, now that we’ve counted a second time he wants to count again.
- Michael spend weeks posting over and over about the conspiracy of the Senate getting involved in the Minnesota election. Now he (and I suspect Coleman) applaud efforts by Senate republicans to block seating Franken.
- Coleman criticizes Franken for even considering using the Courts to decide the election. Now, he vows to hold up the result with lawsuits.
- Coleman thinks we shouldn’t count a single absentee ballot. Now, suddenly, we shouldn’t just count wrongly rejected absentee ballots but a pile of more absentee ballots no one has found were improperly rejected.
Michael, you and Coleman have lost any credibility.
January 3rd, 2009 at 9:06 PM
Michael lost all credibility the night he stopped at Perkin’s for a bite.
January 3rd, 2009 at 9:07 PM
Franken’s 223 (225?) vote lead is going to be hard to overcome even if all Coleman’s current objections are satisfied.
January 3rd, 2009 at 9:08 PM
Norm lost all credibility when he climbed up on W’s lap back in 2001.
January 3rd, 2009 at 9:09 PM
Do you liberals even care about this Country or its political process? Do you only care about winning no matter what? It is sick to watch you liberals destroy anything and everything to win.
The economy the law whatever. Thank God I am a Conservative and have a soul. Minnesota has now become New Jersey and Chicago. I am not a big fan of Coleman just fair play and the Law.
January 3rd, 2009 at 9:09 PM
I think they should keep counting until my original estimate (Franken by 502) is realized.
January 3rd, 2009 at 9:13 PM
Brian..
Congratulations for being a Conservative. Your policies have devastated this country, and it’s time to drain the conservative swamp bone dry, once and for all.
Stuart Smalley and Hussein will work together to start re-building our nation.
By the way Einstein, what wrong with counting all the valid votes, and letting the people decide who they want representing them in the United States Senate? Why all the legal games?
January 3rd, 2009 at 9:23 PM
I really don’t think it’s necessary to seat Stuart Smalley until Ole Smokescreen concedes. There will be plenty of time for him to re-build America in the next 12 years. Amy can hold down the fort until Norm’s embarrassment is concluded in a month or 2.
January 3rd, 2009 at 10:44 PM
Anne Coulter said from day one that the DFL would find a way to steal this election and she has been proven 100% correct. This entire mess will only end in one thing: the complete destruction of Minnesota’s once pristine ethical reputation.
Senator Al Franken…disgusting.
January 3rd, 2009 at 10:56 PM
Marc..
Come on, that’s just sour grapes. Do you honestly hang your hat on Ann Coulter’s predictions?
You are correct.. the DFL found that running a passionate candidate in a Democratic year would bear fruit. Although I think Senator Coleman has plenty of class, I think the United States Senate needs more like Stuart Smalley to start the task of rebuilding America.
The current recount is a testament to the solid process followed in Minnesota, and the profound integrity of our Secretary of State.
Quit crying…
January 3rd, 2009 at 11:11 PM
Marc,
why do you hate America so much?
January 3rd, 2009 at 11:18 PM
Minnesota sure sucks. Just like your Vikings. Governor Ventura & now Senator Al Franken. You clowns don’t know what you want…LOL
January 3rd, 2009 at 11:48 PM
And the Wild beat the Red Wings tonight.
Come on are you really sad to see the Liberal Coleman go, he lost because he voted for the bailout.
January 4th, 2009 at 12:40 AM
Hey Morons
You all are snooting about who’s ahead and who’s gonna win, but we are only in the 8th inning. There is a lot of game to be played yet. No one knows how the participants will perform nor how the officials will rule.
Calm down.
I like BobbyMac’s comment. The Minnesota “experts” say our electoral process is the “best in the nation”, but we wind up electing candidates like Wellstone and Governor Goofy. Now we have Angry Al Franken legitimized. My friends from other states wonder what we are smoking up here.
In defense, I can only say they are not nicotine products. Socialists don’t allow nicotine. THC maybe, but not nicotine…even on golf courses, since someone may see the smoke. Not good, Comrade.
January 4th, 2009 at 1:05 AM
This is just bizarre how Republican no complain about the process for counting wrongly rejected ballots, that somehow Franken did better at vetoing, but it was Franken all along who wanted to count ALL wrongly rejected ballots as identified by local officials of both parties, and Coleman who tried to stop them being counted. Coleman could have just agreed to count them all and not go through a veto process. He chose to veto. It would have been political suicide for Franken not to do likewise.
If Coleman really thinks there are more wrongly rejected ballots than what local officials identified, why did he pick out a relative few instead of asking that the rejection of all rejected absentee ballots be reviewed? Had he done that instead of disputing to the end that these ballots existed or should be counted, he would have gotten Franken to go along.
January 4th, 2009 at 1:57 AM
The citizens of Minnesota have been holding a collective breath while waiting to find out who will represent their interests in Washington for the next six years along with Sen. Amy Klobuchar.
The recount is over and Al Franken has prevailed. It is now time to put the election behind us, get beyond the political rhetoric and partisan posturing and move forward with helping the citizens of this state.
In a time of great economic uncertainty never before experienced by most of those in this country today, it is no time to prolong the outcome of the election and delay the seating of our United States’ senator.
Neither our state nor our country can afford to delay the momentous work that lies before our elected officials.
Minnesota has one of the greatest and proudest health care traditions in this country. The innovative developments of Minnesota companies have literally lead the nation in ingenuity in health care and continue to make much-needed improvements to our health care system. We can ill-afford to stymie that commitment to creativity by getting side-tracked by a long drawn-out legal battle which does nothing but further the political aspirations of individuals and waste precious taxpayer dollars.
Health care debate was a dominant feature in many of the campaigns this past year, including a commitment from President-elect Obama, who promised to do something significant to address the massive problem of the more than 45 million uninsured people of this country and the unsustainable, ever-increasing, costs of health care.
We should be excited about the possibility of real health care reform occurring this coming year, as it will be one of the top priorities of Congress in January. This is why we cannot afford to waste a single day without full representation in Washington, for the welfare of our citizens and for the businesses of Minnesota.
Senator-elect Franken will work for Minnesotans on a myriad health care related issues. He will help improve rural health care by bringing new critical access hospitals to rural areas, supporting the adoption and use of health information technology and reducing medical errors, helping more Americans access health care coverage, focusing on prevention and wellness as a means to bring down the costs of health care and eliminating fraud, waste and abuse. He will demonstrate that he will ensure that our input and the interests of Minnesota families and businesses will be represented in the health care reform debates that begin immediately in January.
The time for campaigning has come and gone. It is now time to move on to the critical issues facing our nation. Reforming our health care system and working to resolve the problems of the uninsured is too important to take a back seat to an unnecessary, purely political effort to change the will of the voters and the outcome of a Senate race that while close, has already been decided by the voters of this great state.
January 4th, 2009 at 2:10 AM
Anna, don’t you listen to Boy Blunder? He told you bootlickers that torture (well, he said “torcher”, but that’s a tangent) was wrong.
But, thank you for pointing out, once again, how republiCons, such as yourself, are consistently inconsistent.
You know, like ol’ Smokescreen, himself. A former prosecutor, destined for ClubFed. A lot of boys in ClubFed like former prosecutors, doncha know?
January 4th, 2009 at 4:55 AM
To anybody who says “Franken’s lead is artificial,” I can only sigh, I can’t even half-sarcastically laugh with disgust anymore. Michael (and all you other Republicans agreeing with him) doesn’t seem to understand the flawed logic in the argument.
Bringing up the issues of double-votes and the other 654 rejected ballot is ridiculous, because the double-votes were a “suspicion” in the first place. There was never any proof that there were double-votes, just proof that the numbers weren’t adding up right. That’s not evidence and no lawyer will be able to magically produce said evidence.
The 654 rejected ballots, however, is a far more ridiculous claim. THERE WERE 12,000 REJECTED BALLOTS! Michael, if you want to argue that the 654 rejected ballots represent a travesty and mockery of the Minnesota voting procedure, then you better also believe that thousands of other rejected absentee ballots should be counted too! But you don’t argue that, and of course you don’t, because you know that with ALL of the rejected ballots included, Franken’s probable margin of victory would be somewhere around 1,000 or higher, maybe substantially higher.
On election night, Michael, you wrote “COLEMAN WINS, COLEMAN WINS!” You mocked the political analyst who said the math showed Franken would win the recount. You said that Franken’s attempts to get rejected absentee ballots counted was no more and no less than cheating. It’s time to step aside and admit you were wrong.
January 4th, 2009 at 8:04 AM
The Democrats steal yet another senate seat. Disgusting.
January 4th, 2009 at 8:45 AM
MB, you don’t seem to have the central idea behind recounts grasped yet. Recounts are done until the Democrat (Bolshevik) wins.
Unless Coleman can get reversals of the boards decissions at the State Supreme Court then he loses.
Cheer up! Your going to have a lot of material for the next few years.
January 4th, 2009 at 9:51 AM
Norm will appeal a couple more times to the Supreme Court and maybe they will count a few more or less votes – but the effect will be the same as the other 3 times Norm has gone to the court – he will lose.
I think Mark Ritchie took all of the air out of the wingnutty right’s conspiracy theories when he appointed a majority of Republicans to the Canvassing Board. So – either Justices Magnuson and Anderson are secretly in the tank for Franken – or the decisions of the Canvasing Board are actually fair and in compliance with law? Tough to swallow.
And the Supreme Court, which has slapped down all of Coleman’s appeals – solid majority of Pawlenty appointees. Maybe TPaw’s in the tank?
Maybe, just maybe, they are doing the right thing…
January 4th, 2009 at 10:31 AM
Who runs against Al Franken in 2014, it is almost a certain Republican pick up so you would think maybe a real Republican would get a shot at it.
January 4th, 2009 at 11:37 AM
Conceding Amy’s seat in 2010?
January 4th, 2009 at 12:32 PM
Just went to set the table for lunch and found a fork missing. Apparently someone had already stuck it in Norm.
January 4th, 2009 at 1:04 PM
Fat lady is warming up.
January 4th, 2009 at 1:04 PM
Elvis has left the building …
January 4th, 2009 at 1:34 PM
Isn’t it time for Norm to graciously “step aside” and concede? He should accept the fact that helping GW circle the wagons for the last 6 years was a mistake. It usually is when you abandon your convictions for personal gain. It’s had to see people that we elect cater to their own agenda instead of the people’s business. It will be a happy day when I see 2 strong minded Dems representing me and my Minnesota values in the United States Senate.
It’s clear that the ReBublicans are convinced that if the ReBublican wins, the system worked perfectly and if the Democrat wins the system is a sham and there was theft and deception.
Stop acting like children who didn’t get picked first for the football game at recess. Concede and let Senator Franken get on with the business of the people.
January 4th, 2009 at 2:06 PM
The process has not been flawless, but I think if the canvassing board designates a winner, that should be decisive. Minnesotans should determine who their senator is, and each of us has the constitutional right to two senators.
January 4th, 2009 at 3:45 PM
MINNEAPOLIS – The head of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee says Al Franken should be seated in the U.S. Senate when it convenes Tuesday.
New York Sen. Charles Schumer says in a statement Sunday that it’s clear Franken has won the election for Minnesota’s Senate seat. Schumer says Republican Norm Coleman can’t get enough votes to win
It’s over Norm. Pay little Mikey his last paycheck and call it a career.
January 4th, 2009 at 5:58 PM
Way to pick and choose your “facts,” Brodkorb. Anyone who reads the whole story knows this post is not much more than a load of bull.
What happened to you?
January 4th, 2009 at 6:30 PM
Maybe if bloggers relized the credible media however flawed is the only media that can effectivly bring out Frankens tax records Coleman could have won.
Bloggers don’t matter anymore.
January 4th, 2009 at 6:39 PM
I have cast a spell on Al Franken. A spell that will turn his whole head of hair a light grayish white by the first Tuesday of November 2010 when Norm Coleman is elected Governor of Minnesota and Governor Pawlenty’s exploratory campaign for his running for the Presidency starts to get in full swing.
January 4th, 2009 at 6:50 PM
So, Gandalf – ol’ Smokescreen’s gonna run for Governor, from ClubFed??!?
January 4th, 2009 at 7:04 PM
My friends…my liberal friends none of this fighting! Now…my friends let us refrain from this ugly discord. Franken..my friends as we all know is a type A asshole..my friends and that is true but we should respect whoever won the most votes…my friends if Al Franken does end up being Minnesota’s worst qualified number one type A asshole U.S. senator that MN has ever produced then my friends that is just the way it shall have to be.
Al Franken joked in PlayBoy my friends about my being shot down captured and tortured during our war in Vietnam. My friends this man is a flaming liberal asshole of the worst grade ussually found in the corner after midnight of the lower subway bathrooms of New York. When he is sworn in my friends I will try my best not to heave.
Anyways I’ve heard Gandalf at one time actually turned little Stuart into toad. I also hear he cast a spell that would turn his hair grey white…
My friends after Mr. Franken is sworn in the comedy really begins…if he tries his puny wrestling moves anywhere around me I will make sure little Stewart speaks high pitched from the Senate floor thereafter.
January 4th, 2009 at 7:18 PM
Hahahaha! Norm Coleman lost to AL FRANKEN! How ANYONE can lose to Al Franken is beyond me. They’re both tools, but Franken is, well, Franken. So while I’m not too thrilled he won, I’m just elated to see this blog and the Coleman campaign (in that order) gasping and slowly dying. I don’t know, maybe you guys should have thrown up a few more press releases. Al Franken won an election! Haha!
Have anymore “BREAKING!!!” news, Michael? Or is something that the DFL did once again “Unbelievable!”???
Hahahahahahahahahaha! Hahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!
January 4th, 2009 at 8:05 PM
Norm lost to a wrestler. Then in his next election he won only because his opponent, who would have mopped the floor with him, died in a plane crash. Now he’s lost to a comedian. Doesn’t sound like anybody’s been buying the rotten produce from Norm’s fruit stand for quite some time now. Maybe it’s time for this small-time hustler to return to Brooklyn. Unless he loses to a prosecutor next.
Does Norm use a Maytag or a Kenmore to launder his money?
January 4th, 2009 at 8:30 PM
Hahahahahahahaha! Both tools? If they are both tools then I assume we are all tools of some sort.
But all tools are not equal.
You can learn a lot about a tool by where the tool hangs with the others. For instance a stump remover is a tool but has very limited usage. It doesn’t process anything like higher digital computerized tools (like a TV remote control) but instead is blunt, bullish, unthinking and amoral. While a Super Computer has exponentially trillions of greater use and value. While a computer is amoral Neither Al Franken nor Norm Coleman are stump removers or Supercomputers, but since you are comparing people to tools I’m giving you an analogy using tools.
Al Franken is slightly more useful than a stump-remover and Coleman’s high integrity and brightness mocks any artificial intelligence. Coleman’s mind is top notch and can use tools like computers and his fellow human tools to lead and make Minnesota a better place to live for us all. All us tools!
If Coleman needs to remove stumps from a friend’s property he will not hesitate to use a blunt tool but an efficient one even if it strongly metaphorically resembles Al Franken. He will use this Franken-tool to remove unwanted stumps.
Now in all seriousness Republicans are tough (especially in MN) and many of us respect and demand (even if not personally religious or affiliated) freedom to practice one’s religion and faith.
We strongly believe that the individual has guaranteed freedoms by our creator (even people who don’t have a specified deity believe in a monotheistic creator of the world and us).
So we don’t need political wins to sustain us. We see the whole picture and live our lives that way as well.
“Gasping and slowly dying” you must be confusing a “patient” undergoing involuntary bullied into economic expedient euthanasia with the Republican spirit. You must be confusing third trimester abortions with the Republican mental vigor.
Democrats have their art to sustain them, while Republicans have their creator way below we too are sustained by the arts and the richness of culture. We value culture and society highly we just don’t think we are sole product of it.
We believe in free will.
Democrats will believe anything if marketed to effectively enough since they are just products of their environment.
The herd has evolved to a staggering degree, but the chains of false brotherhood for us humans are just as tight and just as strong.
January 4th, 2009 at 8:41 PM
Those 654 ballots were rejected by the non-partisan election officials in the counties. Are you tools saying the local election officials are corrupt? The 654 are not being rejected by Franken because they were already rejected. Duh.
January 4th, 2009 at 8:50 PM
Might look clean on the surface folks but Ritchie has been seen having clandestine meetings with Franken and his folks since the election.. this whole process has been a smokescreen for statewide cheating and ballot stuffing. I’m very disappointed that the canvassing board doesn’t have the backbone to stand up to it.
January 4th, 2009 at 8:59 PM
Really Susan?
Prove it. Provide evidence, provide anything to support your accusation.
January 4th, 2009 at 9:08 PM
Mark Richie is a indian giver. He giveth and then taketh away… oportunities fo the Coleman side. While he favors Franken’s team.
January 4th, 2009 at 9:24 PM
Susan…
That’s just sour grapes. “Who” witmessed these meetings you speak of?
Stuart Smalley will work together with Hussein to rebuild this great nation.
January 4th, 2009 at 10:23 PM
Give it a rest Brodkorb, and aren’t you supposed to be working for the State Senate Minority office now? Afterall, session does start on Tuesday.
January 4th, 2009 at 11:31 PM
The Senate Minority Caucus has about six members. I can’t imagine writing the daily press release about how they disagree with everything that gets rammed down their weak little throats will be too hard.
January 5th, 2009 at 4:39 AM
Proud Republican, you’re a tool.
It feels great that you wrote what appears to be a 1000 word response to me that I didn’t read.
Hahahahahahahahahaha!!! Norm Coleman lost!!!
January 5th, 2009 at 6:15 AM
haha… – You sound like you’ve got some problems of your own. In fact, you sound like dan brome. I pity fools like you.
January 5th, 2009 at 5:26 PM
Proud Republican, way to add in unnecessary and inappropriate racist comments into the discussion. It sure is great how you proud republicans are so racist you don’t even realize it. You will never bring anyone into your fold other than old white men. Good for Democrats I suppose.
Succinctly: Proud Republican is obviously a racist.
His words: “Mark Richie is a indian giver.”
