And the winner is ......
Democrat Mark Begich called winner over Ted Stevens. The count is still on, but MSNCB is reporting that AP is calling the race. A recount could be requested.

As I am sure you are aware, there are still three Senate elections that have yet to be resolved. The Democrats need all three of them to get to the magic sixty. On November 4 I would have considered that very unlikely indeed. But now I'm not so sure.
The big one, from my perspective, is the…
Good Morning America!
Well, after I went to bed last night, the Minnesota Senate Race between Al Franken and Norm Coleman tightened up. The Associated Press is reporting, I hear, that Coleman has won. They are wrong.

Highly misdoubt we have heard the last of Bible Spice. She is the absolute darlin' of the irrational right, don'cha know.
Sorry, I didn't make myself more clear. What I meant was...
Are they going to have a "Run Off" if the difference is less than .5%??
Will the people that voted for the 3rd candidate in the Nov. 4th election, vote for Franken or Coleman in the run off? And when will that be?
@ George - "Bible Spice" LMAO! :-)
