		<description>MN observer-Let&#039;s see, Jesse &quot;The Body&quot;Ventura as governor, RE-electing Michelle &quot;McCarthy Was an Amature&quot; Bachman, and now &quot;finding&quot; ballots, I&#039;d say &quot;inefficient and stupid&quot; sums it up nicely.</description>

		<description>Diana needs to take a chill pill.  Is her happiness really dependent on seeing Bush &quot;get what he deserves&quot;?  I&#039;m sure Bush sleeps very well at night because the mistakes he has made (which admittedly are a LOT) are not crimes, they were mistakes, which had adverse consequences.  The Bushies have done a lot of stupid things, but that does not mean it is criminal behavior.  Just because we can&#039;t stand a politician&#039;s views or decisions doesn&#039;t mean we send him to jail. Good grief.</description>

		<description>I doubt Franken will win, but in these cases the candidates have to do what they must to save face.  This isn&#039;t Florida 2000 - Minnesotans tend to be more honest - it must be something to do with the cold.

And don&#039;t get me wrong - I&#039;m a dyed-in-the-wool Democrat.  It seems to be pretty clean.</description>

Just give this one to them since they weren&#039;t able to thief too many this time around with so many people watching them.  They are hurting enough, just give them this one for the Gipper.</description>

		<description>@ chris @ stl --  before you make disparaging comments about the abilities of the people counting the votes, you might want to re-read the article and see just how good your comprehension skills AREN&#039;T.  Nowhere does it say anything about losing a BALLOT BOX.  (And I&#039;m betting an ENVELOPE with 130 ballots in it could easily be misplaced considering the mountains of paper in those counting rooms.)  Learn to read before posting your incorrect remarks, toots.  And, hey, someday you too may be 90 years old-- check back with us then &amp; let us know how that&#039;s going for you, okay.</description>

		<description>Minnesota is turning into one big joke in which you need to find a pivot man for the continuous participation of a circle jerk! Count what you have, and deal with the other hundred and thirty at another point and quite playing with your selves.</description>

		<description>We have been doing these things called elections every two years for the last 200 years, right?  - you&#039;d a thunk that we would have this process nailed down pact , but I guess we&#039;re not really serious about elections fraud - I smells a rat in this and am sure we&#039;ll &quot;find&quot; more misplaced envelopes in the very near future - shameless.  I say it&#039;s long overdue for stringing up the people who we actually caught in this last set of congressional and general elections and make examples out of &#039;em. Those who voted in two locations for prosecute them to the max: if Plaxio Buress gets 3 yrs - these bastadges should get 6!

		<description>As a Minnesotan, I truly hope that our legislators look at this fiasco and figure out another way to break ties, decide winners when the difference in their numbers are to close to be statistically sure.

I don&#039;t know if a &quot;run off&quot; system like GA has is the answer or not but it is a lot quicker and I feel it is at least as fair as the nonsense that is going on in our state right now.

Honest people make honest mistakes but the process that is going on now only makes us look inefficient and stupid.</description>

		<description>Franken needs to concede the election...something he should have done on election night.  Recounting votes until you win doesn&#039;t work...take a lesson from Al Gore.  After the recount President Bush still won by an even greater margin.  Democrats can&#039;t accept defeat.  I am a republican and conceded that we lost this year and will regroup for next time.</description>

IN A SO-CALLED FREE DEMOCRATIC SOCIETY LOSING VOTES IS COMPARABLE TO LOSING A WAR. THE MAIN BATTLE IN THIS WAR IS FOR DEMOCRACY. AFTER ALL THE GUNS, BOMBS AND SMOKE CLEARS, THE VOTE STANDS AS THE ONLY TRUE TEST OF DEMOCRACY. MAY THE BEST PERSON WIN. THE PEOPLE WILL SPEAK.</description>

		<description>Conservative,
     To hear a republican be sarcastic about ballot manupulation is truly ironic. Can you say Florida? Even after seeing all the misfortune that has befallen us after Bush stole the election from Gore, you still havent learned your lesson. You all wanted Bush so badly, he was what you all viewed as the ideal republican candidate. What does that say about you all&#039;s sence of judgment?</description>

		<description>A question for President Bush and my fellow Americans.


Here are a couple of questions I have for the president before he leaves office and a question I ask of anyone who can answer it.  My first question president BUSH is how do you sleep at night for what you have done to this country?  I would also like to know when are you going to take accountability for what you did by going into Iraq and what kind of idiots do you take us for?  My heart goes out for your mother and I can understand her having a stomach ulcer, God knows I wouldn’t want to be related to the most hated person in this country ever!!!!!!  Also my question to anyone who can answer it is actually two questions first being why isn’t president Bush and Vice president Chaney being able to just walk out of the White house Scott Freeeeeee?????  Why aren’t they being impeached? ( I don’t get it).  Also why isn’t vice president Chaney in jail for attempted murder when we have a” famous sports idle going to jail for shooting himself” not someone else himself??????  But our vice president Chaney can shoot another man dressed with a orange vest and say I didn’t see him!!!!!????  I hope all the skeletons come out of the white house closet when all is said and done!!!  President Bush you shouldn’t be buying a house to live in you should be rotting in prison.   And seeing your new home and it being in the richest part of Texas makes me want to throw up!!!!!  You have some nerve to put America in the poor house and live in a mansion I hope you and your family sleep well at night!!!  Another thing is what’s with all the laughing and kidding around you know it only makes us hate you more!  So stand up and be responsible for what you have done and apologize to this country!!!!!

Your disappointed, disgusted, irate, fellow American ,you know one of the ones you put in the poor house due to your lack of attention to what was going on in this country to busy I guess!!!!</description>

		<description>Well, if he leads by about 300 votes, why are they waiting on 130 ballots to determine the winner. It&#039;s unfortunate that we could attain our filibuster proof status but 58 isn&#039;t that bad.</description>
