Norm is a slow learner.
He is going to need lotsa money to keep this crap up,
both the website and the campaign to steal back the unstole election.
Mayhaps the end is in sight.

you mean the election each guy has won once?

bradkanus: you mean the election each guy has won once?

Yeah, once when all the legal votes were not counted and once when they were.

Deliberate deception or incompetence?

Not sure which way Coleman's people would prefer.

as Bradk will surely testify, "conservatives" will gladly trumpet their incompetence for pretty much any occasion.

From the description given and previous reporting about the Coleman campaign, I believe "both" would be the correct answer.

Heh, if you do a trace route on ColemanforSenate.com you can still see this in action.

C'mon, knuckleheads. I have things to do soon and I want to get a good laugh from the absurd explanations that are forthcoming.

Someone must be on now.

More Republican lies and deception. I am not surprised in the least, nor am I surprised in how badly he carried it out. Only a Republican could fail at failing.

No, the election Franken won. First one was too close to call.

Yes, "both" seems about right. The guy got beat by both Ventura and Franken. He just needs to get on with his life.

I remember my work email got spammed by the minnions of Joementum. They were very persistent adding new addresses as I blocked the old ones.

THIS.

Seriously, Republicans have to see this guy as a lost cause, right? Between the outright duplicity after the election (being for recounts after he was against them), the legal flailing, and the fact that he lost to moonbat Jesse Ventura and now Franken, wouldn't the powers that be realize he's just not that, how you say, good?

I went cross-eyed with all the computer talk, but Daily Kos' reputation is as shady as the Freepers or World Nut Daily, so I'm taking this with a grain of salt.

It worked for Lieberman.

Hey, Democraps. Just because the Supreme Court appointed Franken doesn't make him the real senator. Once we get a fair recount you'll all see how stupid you really are.

Pretty much sums them up as a person, doesn't it? "I don't understand what's going on, so I will defer to what other people think about this publication."

Don't you understand if Daily Kos has it it invalidates the argument everywhere it's made.

No, Brad K. Anus is right. Each man did win. Coleman won it on election night, and kept winning it with each recount until the number of votes that were contested slid from himself to Franken -- at which point Franken won. Franken winning was the one which 'counted' in the end.

It's wrong to try to claim Coleman is the one who attempted to steal it, and keep it at that. That was not a clean election by any count.

For myself, I'm not quite sure Franken won -- but he was the most tenacious, and he did have the help of that box of ballots in the back of someone's car found waaaaaay after the fact.

 
Corvus 2009-01-28 07:42:35 PM  
Bucky Katt: 2000 redux ... the second time as farce you know

In 2000 they had them stop counting valid ballots.

In this election they counted all valid ballots and Franken won.

That is the difference.

Hi, Falcc. I guess turnabout is fair play -- each party has things they have selective memory about the type of help they received. Franken will be one of those for Democrats. Neither side is pure.

Okay, the "Box of ballots in the back of a car thing", I'm pretty sure, never actually happened.

Unless, of course, you think the elections director is lying?

Coleman won it on election night, and kept winning it with each recount until the number of votes that were contested slid from himself to Franken --

He stayed ahead during the recount with artificial challenges. For instance, challenging that someone who voted for McCain and Franken obviously did not mean to vote for Franken.

That kept obvious and legal Franken votes out of the count. His lead was gone once all those ballots were counted.

It's all PR, just like this fake server crash.

It must be nice to have a base full of idiots so you can pull that kind of thing off without people being offended that you think they are too retarded to notice.

Hell, the whole case is PR. He is arguing in favor now of including votes from people who admit, under oath on the stand as witnesses that HE called, that the signature on their ballot application was forged.

The entire recount process was broadcast online and was done with a panel with one Democrat, one Republican, and one independent.

God damn conservatives are dumb. I'm not sure why you guys are even allowed to vote anymore after Bush.

Well, technically nobody has "won" the election until it's been certified and the winner is seated in the senate. Since that hasn't happened yet, all we have is a presumptive winner, and that's Franken. Brad K. Anus may be using a different definition of 'win' - Republicans are known for that - but if we have to back one, I'm going to stick with the candidate who has received the most votes based on the most reliable count to date.

And yeah, my use of the word "steal" was hyperbolic. I hereby apologize to the Coleman campaign for impugning their integrity.

And the only people they could possibly blame it on it the ISP - who always demand authentication for any re-points.

A Republican gets caught lying and cheating?

But gets caught because the Bible doesn't contain any useful info about hacking and spoofing IP?

I'm shocked!
