Coleman is scum.
His campaign is making a bunch of frivolous challenges in Ramsey and Hennepin Counties (Franken dominated areas), so Coleman's margin is now 180 votes over Franken. It was 120 earlier today. That way, when the recount ends and the canvassing board gets together to rule on the challenged votes, Coleman can claim victory and say that if Franken wins it will be because of a partisan Democratic secretary of State ruling in his favor (the SOS is part of the 5 member canvassing board).

He is a POS.

2. This will end up in the courts
I can only imagine how that will play out.

Even if Franken wins the recount I wouldn't be surprised if Norm finds a reason to challenge it. Who knows when MN will get a Senator.

3. I would not sweat this too much
When the rulings are made on the challenged ballots, the press will have lots to say about whose were more frivolous and whose were less so. I'm sure they will publish every challenged ballot, and Normie won't have much to stand on should Al pull it out.

I am not sure Al is much better though.

6. He thinks he's an improvement over Wellstone...all you need to know
To call him a POS is to insult excrement everywhere.

7. That's a laugh, the other 4 members of the board are 2 Pawlenty
appointed judges, a Jesse Ventura appointed judge, and a judge who got office through election. So there is one Dem on the panel.

Still, I agree that Coleman is scum.
