The State Canvassing Board of Minnesota met today to "certify" the election results from earlier this month, and to affirm that the vote was within one half of one percent in the gubernatorial race between Democratic Farm Labor candidate Mark Dayton and Republican Tom Emmer.
Part of that process…
Voting is not party involvement.
We hear a lot of talk these days about "voters" being repressed in their attempt to be involved in the Democratic primary process. There may be something to that, and it might be nice to make it easier for people to wake up on some (usually) Tuesday morning and go…
As well as his work on guns, John Lott has produced some bizarre claims about the Florida 2000 election. For example:
African-American Republicans who voted were 54 to 66 times more likely than the average African American to cast a non-voted ballot (either by not marking that race or voting for…
... and there is strong evidence of shenanigans on the part of Coleman supporters (or someone).
As I mentioned earlier, the idea is afoot that there will be more of a shift towards Al Franken in geographical regions that favor Franken than in Coleman-sympathetic regions, in the current US Senate…
Woot! Can we now stop pretending as though talking about sex in a less than serious matter has any bearing on one's suitability for public service?
Stephanie,
You'll have to 'splain that to me.
I like AF and wish I could vote for him in some way. Other than, he's been linked in my sidebar for quote a while.
Janie, Google Franken and Playboy and check the news results.
I must say that I'm not sure if I can support Franken knowing that he did an interview in Playboy. This puts him in some pretty bad company.
For instance, John Lennon, Jimmy Carter and Jesse Ventura all did Playboy interviews. Well, maybe not Jesse. But the other two did.
Ah, yes, one could answer my cynicism saying "Ah, it was not where he did the interview, but rather, what he said!!! Plus, he did those SNL skits too. You gotta look at that."
Well, OK. Fine. Let's see what a professional entertainer may have done while acting as a professional entertainer.
Our previous governor, Jesse Ventura killed dozens and dozens of people (did you see that movie, predator???) and he was a mercenary. Ronald Reagan killed a lot of people too. And Arnold. I mean, he was both a good terminator and a bad terminator. How do we know what kind of terminator he would be once in office?
So, are we saying then that Franken is to be held responsible for Satire and Fiction? But Jesse, Arnold and Ronald are not? And for the venue Playboy, we see the likes of Lennon and Carter and ask "Is Franken enough better than those two to be considered as Senator?"
Uffda.... give me a break. The people of Minnesota are smarter than this.
(there, saved the trolls the trouble of engaging in this sterile debate...)
Seriously? That's what people are actually bitching about?
Just when you thought the idiots could get no more inane...
(I hadn't seen the Playboy thing, but I did get a brief rundown on a letter to John Ashcroft that gave me the giggles...)
