Another reason to to be ill…..

Franken-Coleman recount: Al whips Norm in absentee ballot count, and end is near … it sure seems
That’s because Al Franken — to use a sports term, sorry — pummeled Coleman today, when the previously rejected absentee ballots were counted, 481-305, enough to lift his overall lead to 225 votes.

He’s no Jimmy Stewart, but with today’s count, “Mr. Franken Goes to Washington” may be the former comedy writer’s next sketch.

The 225-vote margin is what the State Canvassing Board will see come Monday. Barring an unforeseen interception by another Minnesota Supreme Court ruling, it appears as if Franken will have the most votes when the board meets.

WA 2000 Gorton - Cantwell.
WA 2004 Rossi - Gregoire.
MN 2008 Coleman - Franken.

The (D)s and fellow travelers are perfecting the election rip-off.
