5/0
Five to Zero
Funf / Null
Cinco / Nada

Somehow I have the feeling that the right wing media will be calling this one, "a very close split decision", either that or "too close to call".

Norm Coleman should know he is entering the Halls of Shame for being an extremely ungracious loser.

Sen. Franken, Godspeed.

You truly were the better choice, and you can restore the seat of Paul Wellstone to honor

Don't let facts stand in your way!

Both Bushes were NOT conservatives.

As for Clinton, the Republicans in Congress kept his spending in check. If it were not for them, he would have spent like Obama is now!

Default Another stolen eletion.

How strange. But, I'm not surprised.

Coleman won this eletion. But when Franken demanded a recount, strangely, they kept finding more and more votes for Franken? How does that work?

Well, if you determine that counting votes one way in one precinct, and another way in another priecinct, will give you the edge, you can manipulate the vote to your advantage; if you study the demographics first.

It's kinda like Florida 2000 all over again.

Perfect example of why never to elect Democrats to anything.

They were sure conservatives according to you guys during their presidencies. Its only when it was obvious that they were utter failures did conservatives disown them, how convenient. As for the Republican congress keeping spending in check when did the massive defecits return? Was it when Clinton was out of the equation, or did it happen in 2006 when the Republicans in congress were in the minority? Face it you've bought into a lie. It was Clinton and the immediate change of fiscal responsibility as soon as he was out of the equation is proof that you can't argue.

Not only no, but HELL NO ! ! ! Swear Franken in. Reid needs the vote for unquestioned control of the Senate. Let 'em at it. Either things are going to work out beautifully or the Dems gonna have some 'splaining to do. Like around next fall.

Bearing in mind, neither party gets my vote. I'll be sad for the U.S. but hey it's the voters that got us here and like it or not they'll get what they deserve.
