And Speaking Of Sixty...

I see Norm Coleman is already preparing to lose by questioning the legitimacy of Franken should Al win.

Norm Coleman is taking an interesting rhetorical tack in the continued spin war among the Minnesota press. Coleman spoke to local newspaper company ECM's editorial board on Friday, and commented that the winner of this Senate race will always face serious questions.

"No matter who wins the race, there's always going to be a cloud hanging over them -- did they really get more votes than the other guy," said Coleman. "That's a reality. And there's nothing you can do to change that."

So yeah, Franken will win but he'll "have a cloud". You know, like Bush did for 8 years.

With Arlen Specter being 59, the Republicans will never allow Franken to be seated as 60 unless the Supreme Court tells them to. They cannot afford to now.
