Minnesota Supreme Court rejects Coleman's efforts to throw out absentee ballots...

Orders that a uniform standard for counting them be used (no problem with that)

This should give a boost to Franken

4. Wonderful News!!! I am so impressed with...

Al for taking this all the way. It's been great to see a dem stand up and demand justice and fairness in a system that has been flawed and unfair for far too long. I'm just hoping that he can pull this thing off. I am really proud of him.

5. I think he's doing this for Paul Wellstone.

Wellstone was his friend and Franken was outraged that Coleman's backers had to audacity to mock and lie about Wellstone's memorial service as a tactic to get Coleman elected. I bet the 1st thing that comes out of his mouth when he accepts the win will be "this one's for you, Paul".

And Coleman couldn't resist further turning the knife by using a clip of Franken acting out a story about Wellstone's over-exuberance and excitement at his son's track meet to try to paint Franken as unstable and too angry to be senator. Of course, without letting anyone in on the fact that Franken was just imitating Wellstone's enthusiasm. It was really disgusting. I think that Franken genuinely hates this sleaze-ball.
