The Minnesota Supreme Court declares 5-0 that Al Franken (D) is a senator from Minnesota:
“We affirm the decision of the trial court that Al Franken received the highest number of votes legally cast and is entitled…to receive the certificate of election as United States Senator from the State of Minnesota.”
Opponent Norm Coleman respectfully concedes. Senate [...]
Franken officially completes Dems’ 60-seat majority
Pawlenty outmaneuvers state Democrats
Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty (R) is trying hard to balance the budget by rejecting the tax and spending bills from the Democrat-controlled legislature, but they just cannot understand “no means no.” This is what Minnesotans would have to put up if Gov. Pawlenty relented:
…A new top income tax rate of 9% (the fourth highest in [...]
Sen. Alan Specter to switch parties
The RINO Senator from Pennsylvania will change his party affiliation to the Democrats. After Al Franken (D-MN) gets seated, Sen. Specter will give the Democrats their filibuster proof majority of 60. Sen. Specter is a walking case study in political expediency.
But it’s really no surprise. His voting record shows more similarities to the Democrats’ than [...]
Franken trying to force his way into Senate
Exactly what is Franken and his lawyer trying to pull in the pretense of serving the people of Minnesota? As much as Minnesotans deserve two U.S. senators like any other state, they also deserve one that’s seated under the rule of law. First and foremost, Minnesota state law disallows issuance of an election certificate until [...]

It’s not just about those 60 seats…
Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R) defeated Jim Martin (D) with a clear mandate — by nearly 15 points! –from Georgia voters: we want to stay a red Peach State. This win for the Republicans assures that no super-majority can be achieved by Senate Democrats. Whew!
But it’s really about more than that…
Clearly, the Democratic vote driving machine [...]
Franken losing in recount, may seek help from Senate
The latest recount in Minnesota has Norm Coleman (R) ahead with about 340 votes and challenger Al Franken (D) is looking to take his case to the Democrat-controlled Senate. Talk about the loser trying to change the rules. Instead of honoring the voting results of Minnesotans, Franken is willing to overturn that by seeking help [...]
Something fishy in the MN senate race
The Minnesota senate race is in a real mess now. Republican Norm Coleman had a decent lead after election day, but in the next few days Democratic challenger Al Franken started getting more and more votes. In fact, a gain of 504 votes in 4 days. And there hasn’t even been an official recount yet!
