Al Franken Wins Again

With all the times Al Franken has won the Minnesota Senate race, he ought to be in the Senate for six or seven terms.

He keeps being declared the winner, and the sore loser, Norm Coleman, keeps appealing. Or fiddling around. Or something. It's hard to keep track of. But he's already said he's going to appeal to the Supreme Court and any higher Universal Court out there somewhere if they can find one. Anything but to allow democracy to work, since it's been our impression for a number of years that it's the candidate who gets the most votes who is actually the winner.

The Republicans clearly don't believe in that version of democracy, since they've been talking about stretching this out for years. Which is kind of weird, because usually they try to let on that they don't like trials, lawyers, the court system, all that ... activist judges, whatever. But if a Democrat wins the race, suddenly they believe in going full bore ahead with whatever it takes to overturn the result.
