    Useless post I admit but I can't be bothered to debate Gore/Bush, its not worth it, the merits of plopeater as President versus Bush as president is a bit more on point.

    There I fixed it...thanks for the heads up.

    Back to the main topic, if Minnesota wants Al Franken as their Senator then they deserve him, however, the way in which Franken has taken the lead is at least suspicious.

    The media wanted to report Palin because McCain wanted them to report Palin that was the whole point of bringing her in, not because she was the most qualified but because she brought the most attention.

    As for Kennedy, she isn't a bad person and isn't qualified but who says you have to be qualified to be a senator anyways. But the voting record thing was ridiculous, as if she didn't know she didn't vote. I liked Obama because he said he did cocaine, because he talked plainly and wasn't stuck on talking points like every other politician out there. Hopefully more follow the lead.

    I don't know if Kennedy stole the election but Bush was shit and if Gore was the president you can't possibly make the argument that he would have been any worse.
    I agree we would have been better off with Gore. I hate W and think he's probably the worse president of the 20th century.

    It's well know Kennedy's father used his mob connections to deliver districts in Chicago, giving Kenney Illinois. Without Illinois, Nixon wins.

    Kennedy's father got all the Kennedy money from bootlegging.

    Gore couldn't have done much worse, I just don't think he would have done "far better".....I think the situations we have encountered would be tough for many Presidents to handle

    The Democrats have all the old city bosses, but the Republicans have been doing splendidly lately.

    There's a lot not to like about Joe Kennedy. Or John Kennedy for that matter. Or Bobby Kennedy for that matter.

    Lyle,something to really make your day,the board that has all but certified Franken as the winner,is headed by 3 republicans,1 independent,and 1 Democrat
    Coleman lost,plain and simple,Franken had more reason to bitch that the court was going to be biased against him,then Coleman did

    Funny Business in Minnesota - WSJ.com
    This article, as with almost everything that appears in the WSJ editorial section, is a mixture of ,lies and rubbish.

    It's explained here

    http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/2009/...heir-fact.html

    why so.

    The guy at 538.com is some baseball saber stat whiz who built a math model for predicting election results and predicted the 2008 State/national/presidential elections exactly right. He predicted a narrow GOP win in Indiana and it went narrow Dem, but other than that he predicted everything right down to electoral votes/percentage point wins etc. A first-time baseball guy put the pollsters to shame. He's almost as Infallible as I am. Anyway, he explains why the WSJ is as usual full of it. Franken won fair and square. \read the link, it's full of facts and evidence.

    And Lyle,dont think I dont know about Dick Morris and Newsmax trying to raise money to find the money to "be offended" and "buy this election"
    I get Newsmax bulletins,so I know what you'll hear on Rush or Sean's show before you do.
    Oddly I also get Move.on bulletins,they havent even mentioned the recount.
    One side is begging for donations to "fight Al Franken", the other hasnt even mentioned it.
    Whose trying to steal the election?

    Frankly I dont care one way or the other,I dont live in Minnesota. But this false outrage that a douchebag like Coleman could possibly lose in a state law mandated recount to a comedian, is funny as hell.
    Its fake and its bogus,and that makes it amusing,the people that are pushing this manufactured outrage are the very same people Franken caught lying,or in the case of Richard Mellon Scaife,the owner of Newsmax,saying something incredibly offensive,even by my standards,and Im in boxing for a living,my standards are not exactly the highest,if you find a curse word I havent said,let alone heard,PM,Id be curious to hear it,and I found what Scaife said offensive.

    Coleman is going to get indicted soon.
