Our Democrat-controlled Senate may get to, in essence, decide who wins the Minnesota Senate battle between incumbent Republican Norm Coleman and Democrat nutcase Al Franken:
Chris Matthews to run for Senate in PA?
Apparently he wasn’t kidding when he said he thought it was his “job” to help the Obama adminstration succeed:
Norm Coleman to be certified as MN Senate winner
… but it’s not over yet. Since we’re looking at a difference in votes of around 215, a recount is mandatory.
