The interesting thing about the link was that it was an attempt to make Jesse look bad. I didn't see that at all.

I don't know Chas, I just watched it again and saw something differant than you.

I think that interview made them both look like chit. Opie is a second rate howard stern wannabe and Jesse is, well Jesse..

We really need to define what counts as a vote in this state and on a national level for that matter or this is going to happen in every close election. The cost to the people is extraordinary.

Funny how you mention "if the roles were reversed!"



When Coleman "thought" he had won the election and Franken was considering having a recount done, Coleman mentioned in his "psuedo" acceptence speech, "that if he were Franken, he would just concede to save the Minnesota tax payers all of the recount money."

Kind of funny what happened after the recount when Franken was declared the "real" winner. Coleman didn't exactly concede like he said Franken should do, no, instead he fought the recount all the up to the Minnesota Supreme Court costing Minnesota tax payers 25 times more than just the recount alone would have cost!

Good job Norm!

But wait, Norm brought Hockey back to Minnesota!!!

I honestly can't say for sure, but I really think the GOP had just a bit to do with him continuing on with it. Franken was poised to be a pivotal seat the Dems wanted and the GOP could ill afford to lose. I'm would imagine their were promises made to take care of him but in the end, I believe he was hung out to dry. Bye Norm!

HOCKEY: Yes he did I guess.

I think that's almost certainly true.

They should have had Kathrine Harris supervizing the election.

They have Pawlenty. My guess is the Republicans thought they had a lock on that seat.
