Yes, it is sickening, how she actually gets rewarded for her blatant McCarthyism. It boils my blood thinking about how people can vote her in after hearing that shit, not to mention her foaming drivel throughout the entire campaign.

The problem is is that Tinklenburg didn't respond to her bullshit attacks that called him a corrupt, and criminal politician. That, and the district just plain sucks

Oh shit. I missed Wright County. Yeah, looks like Franken's gonna have to win big in the rest of St. Louis to get this.

Not all of Hennepin has been counted though, so i think Franken still has this

I appreciate the spirit of it but it's a little disconcerting to see Lincoln with white hair. He never had the chance to go grey.

I've been idling in these poligaf threads for months. But now I can safely say congrats to you guys, you elected the right person for the job. I honestly believe if McCain and Palin got in the rest of the world would have thrown their hands up in the air and given up on you.

On the plus side, there's more of St. Louis to count than there is Wright County at this point, and St. Louis has a bigger population. I think it'll be a very slight win for Franken.

Many of us here in the U.S. would've given-up on it, too.

And re: Franken: We're still waiting on 16% of St Louis County to come in. That should keep things nice and tidy for us.

Neither did Kennedy. At least they fixed the Eisenhower/Truman mixup for the big version - plus, Wilson had a beard in the miniature version!

So Americans, must feel pretty good to not have made an ass of yourselves for once, right? :p


Obama gave a pretty good speech, too.

I am really hoping he cinches it. Love his books and he shares my views.

Voting for it was the real reason I went to the polls, though more for a friend than my own personal use. No way MA wasn't going Obama's way.

302? It is 151!

I have said it before, and I will say it again: REAL GAFers use the 100 posts per page option.

I don't know, we're kinda fucking up with the whole gay marriage thing. Plus Alaska has become the new Florida apparently.

It's up to Alaska if they want either a convicted criminal or an airhead as a Senator. /Shrug.

Looooove to see how successful Palin is at bringing home the bacon compared to Stevens... Or anyone else in the Senate for that matter.

I can't say that I am shocked. Hell at this point I would not be shocked if he was asked to stay in so that she could take his spot. I have heard the GOP in Alaska compared to organized crime.

Even if he wins, can a convicted felon even serve as a senator?






wait what?
Click to expand...

Yes, he can serve. There is no law barring felons from serving in the senate.

As governor, she could appoint herself to his seat if the senate (they have the option of voting him out) gives him the boot. He could also possibly decide to step down after he wins the election, I think this is likely.
