what a travisty! Franken stole this election and everyone knows it. Sad sad sad but another classic example of party before anything politics in this country.

I despise Al Franken, but it was the right decision.

we'll have two jokers in Washington, one from Minnisota and one in the White House.

I can't believe Minnesotans voted for this clown. I guess it goes to show, Democrats vote party first, even if it is a frog.

It's about time! Earning more votes does not constitute stealing elections.

Coleman tried long and hard to steal the election. Thankfully, unlike Bush in 2000, he didn't succeed.

Congratulations, Senator Franken!

Are there really people out there who voted for President Bush twice and have the "guts" to claim anyone else ever voted for a clown?

Funny, I'd say the same thing happened in 2000 & 2004, leading to the mess this country is in now.

What a tragedy the dem's have 60 votes in the Senate. Yeah and the elephants have such a stellar record from when they controlled the house and senate and the White House. It will take some real effort to screw things up as bad as Bush and the republicans have.

Coleman is trying every legal loophole he can to delay the confirmation of the elected official, Al Franken. This is beyond politics as usual and it is shameful. Oh, I forgot. We are the ones expected to live by the rules, not them.

Good deal, Franken will make a great senator. He is smart and he possesses realistic insights and common sense. We need about 200 hundred more just like him.

I can't stand Frankin, however he won and everyone has to suffer for it. The Minnesota voters spoke, and the Nation has to live with the consequences. Get on with it. He won't be around long, so let him do his dirty work and get rich off lobbyists and bribes like the rest of them, at least he'll do it with a joke or two as he gets away with it. That is directed at both parties, not just Democrats.

Aaron and Anonymous,

Got any proof that Franken stole the election as you claim?

Perhaps you should have contacted Coleman's legal team because they sure could have used some help. They lost in every round of court and recounting in spite of spending over $10 million on the best lawyers.

But you say he stole it. Where is your proof???

For all those who claim Franken stole the election: Would you care to elaborate?

Colman was never the winner of the election. He was like Al Gore in 2000, he lost the election and was throwing a fit because he wanted to win.
