Minnesota Senate recount: Coleman leads by 251 votes

With 99 percent of the Election Day ballots recounted, Norm Coleman is still leading Al Franken. According to the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, the incumbent Republican, with 99 percent of the vote retallied, Coleman tops the Minnesota Democratic Farmer-Labor candidate by 251 votes.

Yesterday I reported that 133 Minneapolis ballots were counted twice. Now no one knows where those ballots are.

There is speculation that Franken will take his struggle, assuming he loses the recount--which appears likely, to the floor of the US Senate.

Fine, do that. Make a bigger fool of your self. Kill your political career.
