		<description>There is still time for the Federal Supreme Court to put on their Bush kneepads, grease up their coal chutes and from there pull a ruling that counting the votes in a fair and lawful way would hurt Norm Coleman&#039;s feelings and make him cry, like they did for Bush.  &lt;br&gt;But the fact is, Coleman already had the help of the GOP&#039;s IT fixer to help Coleman steal votes using the digital machines that leave no trail to recount.  Even with Coleman&#039;s crookedness Franken will win the legal and fair way and the people of Minnesota might get some good representation instead of a crooked placeholder elected by skullduggery and kept in place by sleazery.  Conservativism is a conceit and a fantasy, a luxury we can no longer afford as a people or a nation.  Time for a national intervention to break this addiction, a Conservatives&#039; Anonymous.</description>

		<description>I say, to break the tie, put them through the same grueling competition normally reserved for Ms. America.  They will have to answer tough questions, and even perform a little floor routine.  In the end, the most talented will get the tiara.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Either that or put them in the octagon.  In costume.</description>

		<description>Funny how when Bush did this in 2000 it was considered stealing, and the Democrats and AlGore were victimized; yet when Franken does it it&#039;s considered a victory of democracy.  Guess it just depends upon which way your media slants...as if there&#039;s any doubt about that...</description>

		<description>How did you define &quot;win&quot;.. The person with the most votes or the person who gets the senate seat? What do you do if someone is certified with the most votes but a legal challenge is successful and the senate seats someone but the state calls a revote?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;At this point, determining the winner to an absolute certainty is almost statistically impossible, I believe. I doubt either will have a large enough lead to come anywhere near a reasonably conservative margin of error of 0.1%, and 0.1% of 4 million is 4,000 votes.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The recount should be summarily stopped and a revote scheduled immediately, draw lots, or figure some other tie breaking or negotiation out instead of counting them, then suing, then suing again, which either side will do.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Who cares if the law doesn&#039;t call for such a scenario, it&#039;s the most efficient thing to do to resolve the problem. Whoever loses obviously isn&#039;t going to accept that they &quot;lost&quot;, and they&#039;re going to use &quot;scare quotes&quot; around the &quot;election&quot; of whoever &quot;wins&quot;.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I will not say who I support because I know both sides will accuse me of supporting the other side if I don&#039;t because both sides would hate this scenario.</description>
