Feeling Minnesota

The Minnesota Senate race between Norm Coleman and Al Franken is too close to call. Last Wednesday, Coleman called on Franken to "do the right thing" and concede the election, which showed him down by 700 votes, despite Minnesota law that called for an automatic recount in any vote that was determined by 1% or less. Coleman claimed to be trying to save the state tax payers the estimated $90,000 that it would cost for a recount.

Since then, the Coleman lead has shrunk to approximately 200 votes. I'm assuming that the minute the lead shifts to Franken, Coleman will "do the right thing" and concede in order to save his state some money. Otherwise, he's just another Republican hypocrite, right? But then again, Republican and hypocrite is redundant, I know.

I can't wait to watch Coleman try to squirm his way out of this one. Stay tuned.
