ST. PAUL, Minn. — The Minnesota Supreme Court on Tuesday ordered that Democrat Al Franken be certified as the winner of the state's long-running Senate race.
The high court rejected a legal challenge from Republican Norm Coleman, whose options for regaining the Senate seat are dwindling. Justices said Franken is entitled to the election certificate he needs to assume office.
Weird to think that Franken is a senator and this process was a complete disaster with how close the election was and the process that potentially lead to the supreme court. Norm Coleman has now lost to a Pro Wrestler in Ventura and a SNL jokester in Franken.
A few things of note:
1) that makes 60, which means that theres gonna be a lot of pressure on the Dems to unify and agree (stuff that never happens) and push through their agenda without spending the whole term pandering to haters outside thier party, they gotta whip the haters inside their party into shape and pass some bills that can be put into laws.
2)Franken if you read Rush Limbaugh is a big Fat Idiot and Lies and the Lying Liars is super lefty. which for this congresses purposes is good b/c one more blue dog democrat doesnt help this nations people change anything, which is what people voted for obama for, change.
3) this puts pressure on the blue dogs to prove that they are democrats and repay the parties loyalty for funding their campaign. the thought of the number 60 should put pressure on this group of 9, forcing them to join with other party members regardless of campaign contributions from which PAC and get down to law makin or risk the party's long term wrath, which always costs a member his seat over time.
4)Dems havent had 60 votes since the 70's, not that that decade is particularly great, but it is of note.
if this sucks or is too OT, ill delete, figured it was interesting dynamic in politics that occurred today though and may draw some interest.

after like 7 months
i’m surprised he didn’t drag it out even more. he knew he couldn’t win.
Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan was on the same pitching staff with Danny Darwin during the 1986 through 1988 seasons. Both were described by Milo Hamilton as "tall, tough Texans." It was a source of debate amongst Astros players and fans over who would win in a fight, Ryan or Darwin. Though Astros pitcher Bob Knepper attempted to set up a fight between the two during spring training in 1988, manager Hal Lanier stopped it before it could commence. Many experts, including Astros shortstop Rafael Ramirez, felt that Darwin would win because he "looked like someone no man would want to mess with."

Maybe you see this as good...
…but as an Independent, I don’t. I liked some of Obama’s ideas, but I don’t think even he thought that he/Democrats would have this much power this early into his Presidency.
He ran as a candidate that was for new ideas, new solutions to old problems. His agenda are now referred to as a liberal wish list by more than just the zany right. I just feel uncomfortable with any one party having this much power.

well i wouldnt sweat your lil non progressive head into a tizzy
9 senators are bought and paid for by PAC’s in the senate out of the 60, so unless some1 gets LBJ or Newt on their ass, it will still be tough.
i just dont get how when the republicans had 52 it was a mandate to change every law on the books all the way to the magna carta but when the democrats have 60 votes, we should all panic and run for the hills. I mean whats the worst thing on earth that a bunch of liberals are gonna give ya? Tourist destinations in Habana and Healthcare as a socially covered right as seen in the rest of the industrialized world? I mean, that shit aint that bad unless you have stock invested in insurance companies.
The Liberal/Progressive Ideological Agenda is still full of spineless wimps who will be bought off by big business and PACs and make any bill that was a real progressive option so half assed and bastardized it will be doomed a failure and be nothing more than a bloated hulk of failed socialism that can be shit-canned as a failed big government project as soon as the republicans get power back. then we’ll be back to status quo and you can be happy with all the nothing we have. Maybe a democrat steps up and threatens to kick all their teeth in, but i havent seen that stuff since Tip O’Neill

as a staunch Libertarian
I’m opposed to all things Democrat but at the same time, as an American, I get so sick and tired of the constant partisanship that has been been around until these recent elections.
At some point the cradle was going to break and this country is in dire need of some quality decision-makers that actually have enough power to get something accomplished.
I’m humble enough in my beliefs that I fully admit that I may be wrong and am hopeful for this country’s sake that whoever has the power can get something positive accomplished.
So, this Libertarian is hoping that the Democrats get something done. Unfortunately it looks like they don’t have the balls to take a risk in pissing off half of America to actually get their ideas into policy. That, or they’re just the idiots that the Republicans make them out to be.

Why do you say that?
Most considered him a real rising star, and a very viable possibility for 2012.
He certainly had more charisma than Mitt, way more chops than Palin (who doesn’t), and more appeal to indies than Huckabee. Plus he had a great rep for fiscal responsibility, which is most likely, given Obama’s sky rocketing defict, to be the chief attribute the GOP looks for in their next nom.
Or are you saying he didn’t have national aspirations?

then tell me the american people will ever vote for that. Its just not gonna happen, that religion isnt like Catholicism where the protestant right can at least relate to it. its nonsense and most americans know it is and will effect the way americans vote for the next 20+ years

the book of mormon is no worse than the bible. The difference is the bible has been around longer and people are used to those stories by now.

Like Carlin said
“if i had my way id totally eliminate religion in this country, but it would take hundreds of years and cost thousands of lives”
anyway, the weirdest part is that that book is written by people you can track back, and you can read other peoples memoirs discussing the guys etc. its not like the mystery of the bible where no1 really knows who wrote what or how many times its been rewritten and by whom. people know who and when and where the stuff was written and it wasnt that far back.

You will always score points...
with me when you quote George. Still can’t believe he’s dead.
I grew up LDS in California and Nevada. Went to church ‘til I was 13 or 14. The more educated I got the less religious I got though. I suspect it’s that way for many people. In high school I stopped going to church mostly because it was 3 hours long on Sundays and I wanted to watch the Raiders game. By college though, especially majoring in ancient history, I just couldn’t bring myself to believe in any religious mythology.
I’ve read both the book of mormon and the bible. Both have some crazy ass stories. I prefer the bible because I’m able to read it as a history “book” and weed out all the bs. There is still some very good stuff in there historically. As you said, the book of mormon is too recent for me to really use as a source of historical information, there’s a little in there, but not much.

I've heard it said
a few times that the Bible should be read about the way the iliad is read. There are undoubtedly some real history in there, and some embellishments, and some outright myths.

Campaign based on the deficit
is a terrible idea. The deficit is nothing more than a convenient boogie man for politicians, policy decisions should not revolve around it, especially in times of deep recession (see 1937).

I agree
but I think each policy area should be examined/fixed with regards to what the best policy is, of course, keeping costs/benefits in mind. But too much talk about the deficit is just a stage for grandstanding with cosmetic band aid cuts made for show.
The idea that tax cuts will fix any problem certainly needs to die. Americans need to accept that programs they like cost real money.

I think
those that want to cut taxes need to show where the spending cuts are coming from, and those that want to increase spending for new government programs need to say where their revenue is coming from.
The Republicans have been spinning a money for nothing story since Reagan took office, and have consistently championed increased defense spending on decreased revenue, and haven’t really pushed any big spending cuts through.

He has zero charisma.
I don’t know who it was that was touting him as a potential rising star (and, yes, I heard those whispers, too), but those perpetuating those whispers had obviously not seen too much of him.
As a resident of the Palmetto state I can tell you that the guy was never, ever going to be a “star”.
Maybe in small doses the guy could be palatable, but anything more than a short soundbite and the guy makes me want to put my head in an oven.
The guy was nothing special and any serious run of national exposure (like announcing for President) would’ve cleared up any doubts about his viability as a POTUS contender.

i will say that over the past few weeks the repubs have been doing better and the dems have been doing worse.
Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan was on the same pitching staff with Danny Darwin during the 1986 through 1988 seasons. Both were described by Milo Hamilton as "tall, tough Texans." It was a source of debate amongst Astros players and fans over who would win in a fight, Ryan or Darwin. Though Astros pitcher Bob Knepper attempted to set up a fight between the two during spring training in 1988, manager Hal Lanier stopped it before it could commence. Many experts, including Astros shortstop Rafael Ramirez, felt that Darwin would win because he "looked like someone no man would want to mess with."

Research 2000 up until the election was using 2006 numbers in their polls (in terms of % of dems/repubs/independents)
Rasmussen Reports used 2000
the rasmussen poll says 41% would vote for their districts republican candidate vs 39%.
i doubt that. going back to election day dems only had between a 2 and 6 point lead. those results certainly did not follow through.
while it’s “only the 4th time the gop held the lead” in the last 2 years, i still don’t see this. especially with all these controversies on the repub side. sure they beat pelosi over the head over and over, but dems certainly are better off right now.
not sure if either has changed.

if LBJ were around he’d friggin’ get in a fight with reid for not having a pair. they could learn a thing or 2 from what the republicans did.
and the republicans are complaining that obama isn’t inviting them to the white house as much anymore. well good riddance. it’s about time he learned that they have no interest in bipartisanship. how many times was it that the conceded stuff to that party, only to have that party vote against that bill knowing it would pass anyway. but they can say they got something done for their constituency (even though they voted against it).
