Bush went to Yale and Harvard, so if you are going to hide behind Franken''s Harvard degree, you are on thin ice. Al Franken is a loud-mouthed, vulgar, comedian who isn''t funny. He''ll be even less funny as a Senator and will embarrass himself and the state of Minnesota. Paul Wellstone, while a unique character for sure, was highly intelligent. Al Franken is no Paul Wellstone. He''s not even Jesse Ventura.

How did they misplace so many the first time around? It seems, despite protests to the contrary, we [i]are[/i] Florida.

If Norm Coleman is a serious person, he should walk the walk he talked back on Nov. 5. His "judgment" should be to step back to allow the important healing process to take place. I''m betting Norm will show that his previous statement on Franken stepping back was just a joke from a non-serious person.

"If you ask me what I would do, I would step back. I just think the need for the healing process is so important. The possibility of any change of this magnitude in the voting system we have is so remote, but that would be my judgment."

I like the part where, indirectly at best, the neo-conned posters are blaming the middle class workers for the cost of health care and pensions. In fact, these Americans are competing with not just foreign companies, but foreign Governments, as well.

Jesse Ventura seemed to do a decent job as Governor, but just thinking of Al Franken in the Senate boggles my mind. What is he going to do? A few of his bad jokes? Some of his characters from SNL? I hope that he models himself after Paul Wellstone. If he does that, he''ll be ok. But this is a serious position at a serious point in time. That being said, I think Coleman will win. Coleman is boring, but he is a serious man. Al Franken? He''s neither funny nor serious and I hope he loses.

Thanks. Now we''ll see if Norm is a pro, or just another rovian neocon suckup.

downsteamjim,

No spin at all. No voting fraud due to ACORN has been established at all. If so, please point out just one fraudulent vote counted due to anything ACORN did. Don''t point to registration fraud due to contractors hired by ACORN, because that doesn''t equal voting fraud. If you''re referring to my statement that Coleman said he''d drop out if he was in Franken''s position, he essentially did. I already posted that link just a few minutes ago.

Now, will Norm "step back" due to the "importance" of the "healing process"? Will that be his "judgment"?
