Coleman Says He Won't Take Franken to the Supreme Court
By Dylan and Ethan Ris - Politics DailyWho is this strange robot and what did he do with our original robot, Norm Coleman?Because all of a sudden, the Minnesota recount took a drastic swing toward sanity. Prior to today, the whole Norm Coleman post-election script had been basically: Sue. Appeal. Lose Even More Votes. Sue. Appeal. Repeat.And yet this strange creature, who we'll admit sports that trademark Coleman teeth and hair, now says it won't take Al Franken to the Supreme Court if Franken prevails in Minnesota... Ex-Sen. Norm Coleman (Minn.), at the Capitol on Tuesday to lunch with his former GOP colleagues, said he does not ...

The numbers will change dramatically, again, before this is over. In addition to the remaining challenged ballots, the challenges which have been withdrawn must be added back into the recount tally. A challenged ...
Al Franken Claims 10 Vote Lead, But Only If ...
By Tommy Christopher and Caleb Howe - Politics DailyCaleb Howe has been all over the Minnesota recount, but I thought I would spare him the devastation of reporting that Al Franken has taken the lead! Wow. Who knew all it took to "take' the lead was to claim it? I hereby declare I am in the lead. From TPM: Franken's lead recount lawyer Marc Elias said that under the campaign's methodology -- which is not unreasonable, but has some necessary caveats -- they believe Franken is ahead by 10 votes as the first stage of the recount winds down. And, no, Caleb, caveats are not those really expensive fish eggs that you spread on Triscuits. ...
