In any close contest where there is suspicion of iregularity or outright illegal influence at the polls, a recount is imperative. Go for it Al, this is no laughing matter.

if it weren’t so painfully ironic, a repulican of any stripe calling al franken a crackpot would be laughable.
the bean counting deadbeats evolved to become the murdering thieves, the grand oil party privateers that have left this imperium in financial and moral ruin.

Allegations have surfaced of voter irregularities involving a paid staffer of Sen. Norm Coleman, and the ramifications could have a profound effect on the outcome of Coleman’s race against Al Franken.

I agree, sort of. What is amazing is that, even if he ultimately loses, Franken did as well as he did. Bravo.

I loved Coleman’s advice to Franken: if he were in Franken’s place, he’d concede for the good of the electorate… not that Coleman’s telling him what to do, of course.

I like the comment by a GOP consultant who said that if a crack-pot like Franken can beat a popular Republican senator like Coleman then the GOP is certainly in a lot of trouble!
