Minnesota's U.S. Senate race disgraces the state

Last night on CNN, the “best political team” in America took turns bashing the Coleman/Franken campaign disgrace.

Noting the storied history of Minnesota politics, the CNN analysts and both Democratic and Republican strategists said Coleman and Franken have devalued the poltical process by acting like “children” with attack ads.

I could not have agreed more!

It’s a shame that we had to make the national news for something like this, but soon it will all be over.  I can only hope that when it’s over, our state is able to come together and overcome the “devisive politics” which have overwhelmed many of us over the last three months.

Minnesotans… you’re better than Coleman and Franken.  Rise above.

    After the count is all done, a disgrace to our system, I would like to know how the vote machines could be 400 votes off? Any ballot with more than one mark, the machine should have rejected that ballot at the poling place and a revote done with the original ballot being spoiled.
    Now I can only guess how they counted a ballot with an X in the circle for one candidate and when it come to two filled in circles with an X on one they counted it against the X, and not X marks the spot instead of a spoiled vote like it should have been.
