Minnesota Senate Recount Tainted, Coleman to Challenge Certification
By Mark Impomeni - Politics DailyAs expected, the Minnesota Canvassing Board today certified the results of the Board's recount of the Minnesota Senate election, declaring Democrat Al Franken to be the winner by 225 votes. The Canvassing Board's action, however is far from the final word on the election. Minnesota law says that an election result cannot be certified by the Secretary of State until all court challenges to the outcome have been adjudicated.

The effort by Obama is part of the Democratic Party's push to reach 60 votes in the Senate, ...
Dems Looking to Pay Back Union Bosses
By Mark Impomeni - Politics DailyWith Sen. Barack Obama pulling ahead in the national polls, talk has begun to center on the length of his coat tails if he does manage to hold on and win the presidency less than a month from now. Of particular interest is the Senate, where a feisty Republican minority has been able to frustrate Democrats' plans again and again by blocking legislation with filibusters, just as Democrats did when they were in the minority between 2002 and 2006. Democrats have high hopes that they will be able to capture a filibuster-proof majority of 60 seats with gains in this year's election. Together with an ...
