It’s looking more and more like Al Franken will be the next Senator from Minnesota, as he’s taken a 225 vote lead after the exhausting recount up there.
225 votes out of more than 2.5 million cast. Wow. Some (most) people would call that really close, razor thin, a hairsbreadth margin.
Dick Cheney? He’d call it [...]

Well, far righties that won’t ever vote for Obama, you’ve got a choice to make here.
