Al Franken went down, but there’s sure to be a recount. He wasn’t the best candidate anyway, but Norm Coleman may be the next Ted Stevens. (Seems his family has a secret revenue stream.) Speaking of Stevens, Alaska flipped us the bird, reelecting him in spite of seven felony convictions. Saxby Chambliss won, but there’s mysterious doings in Georgia. Gordon Smith is up in Oregon, will probably win. Michelle Bachman won, proving that you can be a very (very) dumb conservative and still get elected. (I live in Roger Koopman’s old district. Don’t need to remind me.)
Can’t have it all.
Note: Apparently Chambliss did not get the necessary 50% to win in Georgia, and there will be a runoff. Max Cleland, the triple amputee Vietnam vet who lost to Chambliss and Karl Rove and the electronic machines in 2002 and was compared to Osama bin Laden, may yet be vindicated.
Piece of Mindful 
Alaska’s bird flip will retain an “R” in the senate even with a Steven’s perp walk, and Alaskans knew it. Saying that, Palin could appoint herself to his seat, and then win the special election, giving her that all important senatorial experience (couple years) which vaulted BHO past the finish line. But, I suck on predictions lately, so it’s anybodies guess.
Funny that you mention Coleman’s rumored secrets while Franken has admitted tax evasion and work comp fraud. I’m beginning to think Alaskans are more politically astute than the Minnesota electorate.
