....Or perhaps it is triple OT, as I've lost count of all of the twists and turns in the incredible Minnesota Senate race. Today there were several key developments in the race, most of them very beneficial to Al Franken's chances. Much of it is detailed here. Needless to say, Al Franken is still down (God knows by how many votes exactly), but definitely in the game.
Yet, we are not going to have any definitive answer on a winner for a while, because no matter what the state canvassing board ultimately rules on the rejected absentee ballots, challenges, and assorted missing votes, the loser will take this one to court. In fact, the Coleman campaign is already going to court (detailed in the article). Anyone who says they know what is going to happen is lying through their teeth. I won't even venture a shot-in-the-dark guess at this point. It would be pointless.
I can guarantee one thing: should Coleman remain ahead, the cowardly Harry Reid would not dare upset the certified results, even if fraud is pled to the Senate by Al Franken. If Reid did not have the stones to take on Joe Lieberman, there is no chance he would seat Al Franken in the face of what would be furious Republican outrage. But this one is as fascinating as they come. It's not every day that you see a Senate race determined by less than one-hundreth of one-percent.
