Minnesota Senate Race

The Minnesota Senate race may be approaching something of an end, or at least a new beginning. We're hoping the wind is finally let out of Norm Coleman's sails. And that Al Franken can at long last take his place as the next senator from Minnesota.

It's been ridiculous. Remember Coleman said he would drop out if he found himself behind. But he didn't. He's a liar.

It's also been ridiculous for the length of time it's been stretched out thus far. I've love to visit a parallel world where Al Franken had been behind and had been drawing it out so long. The Republicans would have been raising the biggest stink you can imagine. But, of course, when the situation is reversed, they've got all the time in the world.

We can well remember their hypocrisy when Al Gore wanted to get all the votes counted in Florida. Then he was called a sore loser. The Republicans (cretins) change their "principles" depending on what helps them most.

In Minnesota it got so complicated I wouldn't know which votes were counted and which weren't. But one thing isn't complicated, the Republicans' fun and games stretching it out. These guys don't deserve a place in governing us. They're corrupt, out for their own crass interests only.
