Wow, talk about bitter! The author makes no attempt to hide his bias with lies and slant, right out of the gate.<br> <br> "Franken wins by changing the rules."<br> Franken did not change the rules, he used avenues available to Coleman to have them changed.<br> <br> "Norm Coleman's gracious concession..."<br> After 8 months neither side can claim to be gracious about any of this. Besides, a gracious loser can do as much for his supporters as I can do for them.<br> <br> "The unfortunate lesson is that you don't need to win the vote on Election Day as long as your lawyers are creative enough to have enough new or disqualified ballots counted after the fact."<br> We learned this lesson in the 2000 Presidential Race.<br> <br> "While Mr. Coleman's lawyers demanded a uniform standard..., the Franken team ginned up an additional 1,350 absentees from Franken-leaning counties."<br> That line fails on the author's use of the "ginned up" alone, as does his implication that the Franken team somehow created these votes. As if this ghost author believes they didn't do the same thing Coleman could have done if he wasn't standing around being so gracious, no, the Franken team printed bogus ballots and made up names to "gin up" votes. They found the votes, they lobbied to have the voting commission include them, the commission chose to do so.<br> <br> To say Franken stole this election is as valid as saying Bush stole the 2000 election.
