He was not some evil radio show host with no morals or decency. He was producing satirically comedy. Ironically, the one of the news organizations to accuse him, Fox News, was the subject of many of his attacks. As a result, this can not be a fair and unbiased source by any means. I am just saying, you know, let's wait until some evidence comes out against him. The Wall Street Journal is also known to be conservative. I already explained how the recount will favor Franken.

He has never served in politics - he has only cracked bad jokes about politics. That'd be like saying that Leno or Letterman has had a long and distinguished political career because they crack a few jokes about politicians every night. Franken has proven (over his long comedic career) that he has no morals, scruples, or sense of decency. In other words, he'll do anything and everything to steal the election if he can.

Logically, one would assume he would not engage in those acts. Unless someone held a predisposition on him due to the fact he was a Democrat. Also, the reason why he will get more votes is because Minnesota is a more liberal in the way it does its recounts. Meaning it checks the votes and awards more questionable ballots, undervotes, and previously uncounted ballots. So if it looks like a person meant to vote for Franken but changed for one reason or another, and there is a somewhat distinguishable mark, the vote will go to Franken. Due to Obama's presence and Democrat turnout, this favors Franken. I am saying he spends his entire political career criticizing the right satirically for all its shenanigans.

Jeez, now that it looks like Stevens is going down, and Franken could pull this off... it might be worth Obama's time to head down to Georgia for a day or two to get #60 Martin over the line. If that's the case, Joe can keep caucusing with us, until he is taken out in 2012. its gonna be great when a true patriot like Franken is in the Senate, after every vote is fairly counted (despite Coleman’s attempt to disenfranchise Minnesotans) and the Right will cry and whine because they don’t care about democracy, only power.

He spent his career thus far criticizing the right for doing the same. There might be shenanigans but is not directly coming from him. Also the organization posing these ideas are notably right wing: fox news and the Wall Street Journal. I don’t think Franken is directly involved.

How can Franken keep getting votes and Coleman lose votes? How come ever single vote tabulation Colman hasn't has a single extra vote? How is it that Franken gets more votes then Obama in the same districts? The Libs are going all out to get to 60 Senators. Oh come on j!

Anyway, what I don't understand is how the ballots from the trunk were not missed on the night of the 4th? I also don't understand how you can go back and "correct" a ballot...can anyone enlighten me? I remember as kid, my Dad working the polls in Arizona. One year there was a case where a poll judge handed out the ballots to people in line because the line was long. This is illegal in AZ and that poll judge had some legal cosequences to deal with for breaking the law. Eventally some of those people went home and took their unused ballots with them. When it was discovered that there were missing ballots my Dad along with some other election judges had to go back, find out who these people were, drive to their houses in the middle of the night and get those unused ballots, which were then disqualified because they had left the poll outside of an official election judge's possesion. I also dont' understand why they are doing a hand recount. Wouldn't it make sense to recount the votes the way they were counted in the first place? At least that's how it's done in the states where I have lived (AZ, UT, NM). Why are we always having this kind of voter fraud back East, and not in the West? Perhaps the eastern states could take a lesson from us yokles out here in the middle of nowhere.
