Update--Senate Showdown in Minnesota

In a fraud-laden race that has seen votes disappear for the Republican candidate, and votes appear out of thin air for the Democratic candidate, the Minnesota Senate race between Norm Coleman (R-Minn.) and Democrat challenger Al Franken is headed for a recount.

Both sides have added teams of attorneys to their arsenals as they prepare to take the fight into the legal system.

If ever there were a case that screams for a thorough investigation, it is this one.

The Democrats want the seat to inch themselves closer to the magic veto-proof 60-member majority in the U.S. Senate, and they have shown they are willing to engage in outright election fraud to do so.

Coleman won. But Franken protested, and several areas within heavily-Democratic precincts suddenly and mysteriously found more votes for Franken.

Franken is still behind, but only by roughly 200 votes.

The official recount of the votes begins on November 19.

If it's anything like Gregoire in Washington last time around, they'll keep recounting until the Democrat wins and then they'll announce that they have a winner.

It's just so weird (but, unfortunately, expected) that the media will treat every recount as flawed because the Republican still won and then the recounts just go on and on and on until they finally get it "right".

Unfortunately, you are 100% correct. The modus operandi of Democrats these days is that you keep recounting until you win. But it depends on whether or not you are in a Democrat-run voter precinct in a very close election.

Somehow, someway, they are always going to mysteriously 'discover' votes that put their guy over the top--this time an avowed Socialist, the Leftwing lunatic Al Franken.
