Al Franken
Anyone have a guestimate on when he will be seated? Whats going on with the lawsuits up there?

When he gets seated, the Dems will only need to bribe the Maine Senators and say fuck you to the rest of the GOP. I can't wait. The world can't either.

2. Not soon enough. Coleman alluded to appeals to the
upcoming ruling, which is expected to go towards Franken.

This is kind of silly now.

8. Coleman is positive he is going to win, says Franken being declared the winner is "irrelevant"

9. The only way he could "win" over a legitimate vote count is to bribe
or blackmail enough judges to overturn the election, just like George did in 2000.

11. I've been following the trial
Just when you think there's nothing else Coleman's Camp can do they throw in something new. Most recently Coleman's team has been dragging out the absentee ballot presentation. They've been presenting the ballots one at a time WASTING time to delay things.
To keep watch on what's happening I type in Coleman Franken in Google News Search and sort the results by date. When you get results at the Star-Tribune you can read the rabid comments of Coleman's supporters. What a sick bunch.
Hopefully the judges and the lawyers on both sides came to some agreement to hurry this along when they met today.
One of the absentee ballots that was unopened in Dakota County belonged to a friend of mine. Needless to say we're very interested in the proceedings.
