For two guys who don’t like each other much, Senate rivals Norm Coleman, left, and Al Franken spend a lot of time in the news together.

BradBlog has the latest from the endless recount battle in Minnesota, where Al Franken currently is trailing by only two votes. Results are day-to-day, but the Star-Tribune is predicting Franken will win out by fewer than 100 votes.
