~*DEB*~ "I can't believe first of all that this guy is being allowed to take this seat. We know that there is something foul that happened that gave him a lead he didn't have after the Election."
Read on:
A Mississippi senator who won a tough special election campaign himself says his Minnesota colleague Norm Coleman is the legitimate winner of the contested race in that state, which his Democratic opponent is attempting to "steal."
Roger Wicker's victory on November 4 was one of the few bright spots in an otherwise dismal election night for the GOP. After a tough fight of his own, Wicker is going on the record in support of fellow Republican Norm Coleman, who was a clear winner on Election Night but who saw his lead disappear after the Democrats were able to "find" enough votes for Al Franken to pass him in the recount. It is a clear case of voter fraud, according to Wicker. "The only way that Franken has this 220-vote lead or so is double-counting of votes, not counting some others, counting absentee ballots under one standard in heavily Democratic areas, and not counting them under another standard in heavily Republican areas," he contends. Wicker believes it will be up to Minnesota's high court to do the right thing. "The Supreme Court of Minnesota, apparently, is the only forum that can decide these issues," he points out. "And if they call it straight and fair with standard criteria across the board, Coleman will win. Now whether that will happen in a liberal state like Minnesota, I don't know." The Mississippi Republican admits he is not thrilled about the prospect of having someone like Franken in the Senate. "Nobody's [very excited] to have a loose cannon like Al Franken in the U.S. Senate," he concludes.

i would like to know how franken acquired 225 votes over his opponent when his opponent was up by 725 votes on election day? i am sure harry reid is mixed up in this somehow as is nancy pelosi...because reid was going to seat him, even without a certificate, before a winner in minnesota was declared. you cannot convince me something illegal is not taking place, on this choice.
