The Wonder of it All.

The State of Minnesota has certified that comedian Al Franken holds the vote lead in the race for one of that State's US Senate seats. Yet the legal wrangling is expected to go on for months.

Many people, particularly Democrats, bemoan this situation. Personally, I hope it drags on forever. Granted, I'll never know, and doubtless no one will ever really know, who actually won, given the amount of activity surrounding the race and its aftermath. But quite frankly, Franken deserves whatever troubles will come out of this. It's he and his liberal allies who have created the environment which they now find themselves embroiled in.

In 1960, no less than Richard Nixon would not fight election irregularities. Why? To save the nation an embarrassing and divisive constitutional struggle. Gerald Ford did likewise in 1976. But when Al Gore loses, and he legitimately lost, my friends, in 2008, it goes to the courts. Similarly Franken, after losing the initial tally and first mandated recount, goes to any length to get what he wants, in the name of the people.

What hyperbole. In the end, the people of Minnesota have one less representative in Washington while it all plays out.

You reap what you sow, Al. Too bad about all the weeds.
