A Message From Senator Coleman

[Bigfatpieeater]

Hey Norm. How about a re-match with Mr George Galloway MP. I would say time for round two but you were knocked out in the first.

Pretty embarassing for you wasn't it!

Perhaps you should look at the videos to reflect on how you might make it as a seasoned politician.

[bart11114]

"We believe Al Franken's artificial lead will disappear."

Right, which is why he now has an even bigger lead over you than he did before the three judge panel ruling.

[Xerock]

You're not the senator dumbass. You lost.

The Minnesota courts tossed you out. Get a clue.

[rasica1]

Al Franken needs Jessie Jackson's surgery skills. We all know what Jessie wanted to do to OBASM's NUTS.

[Namzso1]

By default I am ignorant? You don't know what kind of degrees I have. There was a machine count, and a hand re-count which involved cherry picking absentee ballots. The margin is 200 with hundreds if not thousands of votes that should have been counted in limbo. Everyone does not agree. (where do you get your numbers doctor?) Al Franken will lose when all votes are counted.

[gyronic]

Who wants this lying flake representing ANY of us?

I dont

Web site crashed my ass!

[Namzso1]

Many of us do.

[Tnoy34rt]

but not anyone who is educated, that's the difference.

[Namzso1]

Genus, I will bet my education (formal and otherwise) is more advanced than yours. And many more like myself (with advanced degrees) voted for Norm Coleman. In fact when all the votes are counted he will win.

[Tnoy34rt]

Incorrect, I have 2 PhDs so by default you are ignorant.

All the votes have been cast and counted twice, so everyone agrees, Al will lead Minnesota to greatness once again.

[ElectricBaker]

Liar

[diddlyd]

Franken is cherrypicking what he wants counted and what he does not. After the election night he called on Coleman to be patient and make sure every vote is counted. Take your own advice.

[freewngs]

Coleman is cherrypicking what he wants counted and what he does not. After the election night he called on Franken to resign even though the recount was automatic. Take your own advice.

[AtlasObjectivist]

Regardless what one personally thinks of Franken, it is criminal the extant that he tried to steal this election.

[RISHELOR]

It is time for the half of America that made and makes this country worth living in to push back and push with vigor

[Saberwolf116]

BREAKING NEWS

April 4, 3091

Coleman concedes Minnesota senate race!

[RISHELOR]

Franken, Obama...Wow America, democracy may have some flaws in it....Can a system that allows a failed comedian and radio host to rise to the level of the Senate be allowed to continue unchecked? Can a system that allows an unaccomplished one half term senator from the most corrupted state in the union rise to the level of commander and chief of our Armed Forces, simply because he is a minority. If Barack was Barry Smith, he would be voting to impeach Blago back in Chi town right now.

[ElectricBaker]

We can only pray.

[msludwick]

Regarding the missing ballots... it has, in fact, been proven that an envelope containing 133 ballots from Minneapolis Ward 3 Precinct 1 was lost prior to the recount. These votes could not be recounted, so the original count made on election day was assumed to be correct. You would only "gain over 40 votes if these ballots were ignored.

[Namzso1]

Then don't do a hand re-count. You can't count hand in some precients and then rely on electronic in others.

[msludwick]

They completed hand recounting over 2.4 million votes a few weeks ago.

[Namzso1]

Right, they just didn't hand count all of them. When the margin is 225 - you need to hand count all.

[msludwick]

Do you have any evidence that different standards were applied to the counting of absentee ballots among precincts/counties during the recount? Quite the opposite - the criteria for rejecting absentee ballots were extremely clear and straightforward - every polling area certified their absentee ballot counts after a process that was overseen by your own observers. You have provided no examples of absentee ballots that were treated improperly.

[msludwick]

Do you have any evidence that these hypothetical ballots would have more likely been votes for you? No - your own theory refers to ballots that were duplicated due to technical glitches (ballots not being read properly) - events which were, in fact, distributed fairly randomly and evenly.

[msludwick]

Do you have any evidence of the existence of duplicate ballots? No - this is just a hypothetical explanation for why only one copy of a ballot could be found in some cases when a duplicate had been made on election day. Other, more plausible, explanations would not have resulted in double counting; still others would have resulted in under-counting.

[Sreggaematic09]

And Please, Norm. If you can read this...quit the babyish antics, grow up, and admit a loss. I remember you asking Al Franken back in November not to challenge the results because you were ahead in the polls.

Shoe ain't so good on the other foot, is it?

Seriously, the Republican party has finally come to a dusk...This is the age of Liberalism, as you shall see.

[Sreggaematic09]

*sigh*.. YOU'RE NOT OUR SENATOR ANYMORE!!!

You're not "Senator" Norm Coleman; You're "FORMER" Senator Norm Coleman.

at least get your title right. look at the low ratings your video receives.

Can't you see that nobody likes you? go away. Go back to Brooklyn.

[Namzso1]

Al is not "Senator elect" Franken until he gets his certificate. Franken is the one who should go back to his home state of New York.

[Tnoy34rt]

he's from Minnesota, learn history, don't make up lies.

[Namzso1]

Al was born in New York, went to school here (in wealthy private schools) left here at age 18, never came back. Norm has lived here 32 years, raised his family and children. Norm is the real Minnesotan, he has almost double the years of Minnesota that the carpetbager Franken has.

So, Al's home state is New York, get your facts straight, don't make up lies.

[Tnoy34rt]

incorrect, where you spend your formative years dictates where you are "from", so Al is a Minnesotan. He now reside in Minneapolis, so learn to deal with it.

[Namzso1]

Can you point me to this universal definition? Regardless, Norm Coleman has spent more of his life in Minnesota than Al Franken, actually double the time. Norm Coleman is more "Minnesotan" than Al Franken could ever hope to be.

[Tnoy34rt]

no, it's common knowledge if you were brought up the US... (and most places for that matter)

Yes, but Coleman is a dishonest Republican, so nobody wants him near any public decision making.

The best, most honorable person wins... why are you so against that?

[Namzso1]

Your "common knowledge" is more your opinion than any common knowledge.

What is Coleman dishonest about? The most honorable man is Coleman and he will win this election.

[Tnoy34rt]

He was born and raised in New York, so he's not a Minnesotan according to you. So that's you being dishonest right there.

He supported killing 94,000 in Iraq and 6,400 of our own, he is a "lifelong" democrat but switch when Karl Rove pulled his strings, so by default he is an anti american.

Coleman is washed up, he lost the vote count and that means Minnesotans are against him ruining the State any further.

[Namzso1]

Coleman is more Minnesotan than Franken ever could be.

Coleman did not support killing anyone - didn't even vote on the war. To your logic, Hillary, Edwards, Reid, and Kerry supported killing 100,000+ - they actually voted to go to war.

Coleman is not going anywhere - Franken was the washed up failed radio host, tax cheat, carpetbagger who will be back in New York soon after all the votes are counted.

[Tnoy34rt]

Coleman supported Iraq, so he has massive BLOOD on his hands... no wonder he LOST.

"From the start, Coleman was a strong supporter of the war in Iraq and the War on Terror. He has been a consistent supporter of the war over the past several years, and generally tended to agree with the positions of the Bush Administration on Iraq."

Facts are facts... Coleman is a blood thirsty crook, there is no way around it...

[Namzso1]

Franken supported the Iraq invasion - he admits this.

Wikipedia is not a factual source, for all we know you wrote that passage on Wikipedia.

Facts are facts if Coleman has blood on his hands, so does Franken, and the Dems who voted for the war like Hillary, Kerry, Edwards, and Reid.

[macindrew]

a word to the wise, Coleman doesn't have the votes, end of story - best to exit gracefully than to try and argue against something you cannot win. tnoy34rt is "mostly" right in his / her comments.

[Namzso1]

Word to the drones -

With a 200 vote margin and 4,000 votes being considered as evidence, it is anyone's election. If your hero Franken were behind now he would be fighting the same fight. When all votes are counted Coleman will win.

[ctlangis]

Democrats involved with voter fraud..........shocking!!!

[KataVideo]

norm.. you're fired.

[Henryoslo]

what happened to "If I was in this situation, I would just concede". this is why your party is going down the pooper

[countess1900]

The old GOP guard appealing to the American people for fairness and a do over. whaaa...hahahahaha

[BABIEBABIE7]

As your cronies told Kerry and Gore, "OVER! Just accept your defeat gracefully..."

[mav7770]

I wonder what George Galloway thinks of all this? I bet he would LOVE to give your school boy antics a little bit of, oh, let's just say a verbal ass whoopin!

[FlintfromOhio]

Go Away Asshole !!!

[summitoaks]

loser. white, straight, conservative, republican, aging males - it's over - you're done - forever. step aside.

[themightysmackles]

Your done too. Dinosaur.

[kalboy1000]

My God... isn't the electronic age great. Now everybody can get onto the internet and make themselves look like a complete fool to millions.

With candidates like this it is no wonder that your country's politics is like it is. He looks and speaks like a smiling assassin.

[victor190779]

That is EXACTLY what this low-life is.

[vikesrules]

I'm so embarrased at times to say that I'm a Minnesotan. It is hard enough that I have to live in a beautiful state with all these liberal morons. Wasn't Jesse Venture enough, why do we need another D list celebrity to be elected in this state. Coleman clearly won, it was that moron Franken who cost us money and embarrasement. No wonder the sign for the dem party is a jackass, there seems to be plenty in that group!!!!

[dmac6722]

I wish you would just go away. I don't know how you got elected the first time, but we don't need a bush sycophant in Mn. Never did, never will.

[StregaMichaela]

Senator, stop embarrassing yourself. Give it up.  You lost. You look desperate and needy.

[dailyintel]

If you have any honor as a man, you should immediately concede your loss, and drop any legal battles.

You are shaming yourself, and the entire electoral process.

[cirishluck25]

Senator Coleman:

It is in true democratic form to recount and assure the winner of this race. Unfortunately, for you, that has been done over and over for the past two months. Asking for another recount seems like not only a waste of time and resources but tax payer money. If you truly care more about Minnesota you will consider the effects of the economy and the current discord on your states government. Realize that Min. cannot afford to pander to your ego and let go gracefully.

[Fockersnextdoor]

American elections must be fair because no one wants a civil war and this is what unfair elections could cause.

[bnltown]

ban acorn

[mrjonnewman]

Loser!

[benlew]

It's over. You lost. The race is not going on. It has stopped. There is no ingoing process just desperate last ditch stunts. Go away.

[Unamuno747]

FRANKEN WON. GET OVER IT.

[JMartins1981]

I don't care much for religious people, but Al Franken would be the most wretched and sleazy person to hold office in the United States, so I fully support Coleman in this election.

[bobhardball]

I could not agree with you more, JMartins1981. BUT let's face the facts and be honest: Norm Coleman can't win. Remember my words!

[jwolsh]

Give it up Norm. Its over. Stop wasting tax payer money.

[TheParty1984]

LOL Franken demands the recont which costs tens of thousands of dollars and Coleman is the one wasting the people's money. tell me a new one.

[mmgoldhome]

Senator, thank you for standing by what is right. The canvassing board is aware of over 25 precincts in which duplicate results have been counted and accepted during the recount and others where the recount results were thrown out without just cause. The law states that recount results in such circumstances are invalid and subject to a legal recount or else a special election re-vote.

[plasticbratt]

I guess accepting a job with the Republican Jewish Council means that you really, really expect to reverse this situation.

It's over. Walk away with some dignity, for pete's sake. You're wasting everyone's time.

[Watchout5]

Someone let Coleman know the votes were already counted and he already lost. We don't need another torture supporter or someone so deep in the pockets of big business in Washington, your time has expired you are the weakest link goodbye.

[TheParty1984]

Yeah, lost after votes were double counted and the Courts threw out votes for him after they allowed the same type of votes for Franken to be counted.

[Watchout5]

Ya the several judges and bi-partisan vote counters were probably all working against the republican party. The conspiracy is so huge I wouldn't ever go outside anymore, THEY'RE LISTENING TO US!

The people voted for Franken, get over it

[TheParty1984]

no, none of those people just the openly Socialist and openly pro-Franken Minnesota secretary of state.

[Watchout5]

How about the fascist openly pro-Bush department of justice not finding problems with the ballot counting? Unless you can get the federal government to jump in, as Bush could have done, Franken is our winner.

[TheParty1984]

LMFAO Fascist, you really have no clue what a fascist is do you? Furthermore Franken might "win" but he didn't win the election. Don't worry, when Jesus Christ Obama manages to get our country attacked by terrorists we'll win the seat back along with many more. The clock is ticking, he's already torn down evil America's "Fascist" defenses.

[bobhardball]

Obama is a fascist, Bush is a Mexican and the earth is flat. Did you come to this conclusion by yourself, TheParty1984?

[thorn100]

I think it's "Former" Senator Coleman.

[mrpoohfacebutt]

don't give up Norm all smart people love you

[TripeHoundRedux]

Though apparently they don't know how to capitalize or punctuate properly. ;)

[cxfornier]

Obviously, rocketsfan is an a**hat, as is COLEMAN. Al Franken is the senator-elect, de facto, and eventually, de jure.

[mnindy]

Funny how a missed comma can change the context entirely. Rocketsfan34, are you calling people to fight Coleman, or are you cheering Coleman on to victory?

[s4xton]

I can't believe how corrupt you are, Norm.

[FreedomLives1776]

God Bless You!!

We Need You In Washington!
