Al Franken Pulls Ahead by a Molecule... Maybe

POSTED BY: Dennis DiClaudio

Now that the Chambliss/Whatsisname election has drawn to its exciting complex, we only have one official election for Indecision 2008 to obsess over -- and I use the word "obsess" very lightly -- and that's Al Franken's down-to-the-wire attempt to unseat Sen. Norm Coleman in Minnesota.

And now it looks as though Franken may -- for the first time since the recount started -- have pulled ahead of Coleman with a cool double digit lead...

Speaking on a conference call with reporters, Franken's chief counsel Marc Elias said the campaign's own internal count showed them up 22 votes, a jump from the 13 vote deficit that they faced on Tuesday.

"We have approximately 138,000 ballots left to count," said Elias. "94.3 percent of the state has now been counted... Obviously that number is going to change, but we are pleased thus far with how things are going."

Bear in mind, those numbers are according to Franken's "campaign's own internal count." All other counts seem to show Coleman as retaining his lead.

Except for mine, in which Minneapolis-native glam-funk rock legend Prince is jerking both candidates numbers like a horny pony would.

Now run and tell your mama about that.

Pass. I want to think of horses in a purer way...although I saw a movie with an evil hobby horse last night, and even that was somewhat disturbing.

Saxby Chambliss, Conservative Values Win "First Election of 2010" Nearly Two Years Early

POSTED BY: Dennis DiClaudio

With only 23 months to go before the vast majority of votes of the vast majority the midterm elections will be counted, Republican Georgia Senator Saxby Chambliss has declared himself the very first victor of 2010, after beating his Democratic opponent, Jim Martin, in the 2008 runoff election for Georgia's senate seat.

Garnering 57.5% of the two million Georganians who bothered to vote, incumbent Sen. Saxby Chambliss -- according to incumbent Sen. Saxby Chambliss -- represents the return to conservative values that America has so craved since the crushing defeat of conservative values one month ago...

"You have delivered tonight a strong message to the world that conservative Georgia values matter [in the state of Georgia]," he said.

"You have delivered a message that a balance of government in Washington is necessary, and that's not only what [2.9 percent of] the people of Georgia want but what [0.02 percent of] the people of America want."

You can't argue with numbers like that. Today truly is a great day for the conservative movement.

But why exactly did such an overwhelming fraction of the people of America reject the failed policies of the not-yet-inaugurated Obama administration?

"If you can't have a little back-and-forth arguing between the parties, then the party in power will make mistakes," said Ron Zukowski, a computer expert in Atlanta who voted for Mr. Chambliss. "This was my chance to say no, and I said no."

Luckily, now, thanks to Mr. Zukowski's "Power of No," the American people will be spared of four years of a government that makes any mistakes.

Welcome to the Golden Age.
