1. After he makes the wounds so large that they can never heal he may finally go away.

10. There'd be a far better chance
of him dropping dead of a heart attack or a stroke...

(we can only hope)

5. Not a chance. He is going back to the Minnesota Supreme Court to stop the recount....
Looking for link.

11. He won't be trying to stop it now that Franken is ahead
He might do something to try to get the entire recount dismissed (unlikely) but it would be foolish of him to try to stop the counting now that he is behind.

6. About the same chance as Marilyn Musgrave suddenly turning gracious
But for the good of the people of Minnesota, shouldn't Norm be issuing his concession speech? "The people have spoken" and all that jazz? Come on, Norm; you don't really want to be in such a small Senate minority, do you? Time to get going on your conservative welfare career with a sinecure at some "think tank" somewhere that will pay you (and your wife, don't forget wifey) six or seven figures a year to spread tidings of comfort to the beleaguered overrich.

That is, if you're not sitting in some jail cell about this time next year.

8. Not Enough Bandwidth For The Number Of Digits I Need
It's 1 chance in 1 followed by more zeroes than any of us have seen, or ever will.

9. I don't know, but if things were the other way around
would Franken go quietly to let the healing begin?
