Meanwhile, in Minnesota...
The drama continues.
The recount in the Minnesota Senate race is 99% complete. Incumbent Republican Norm Coleman has actually gained 36 votes. According to an unofficial tabulation by the Minneapolis-St. Paulo Star-Tribune, he now leads Democrat Al Franken by 251.
However- surprise!- an envelope containing some 133 ballots from a heavily Democratic area in Minneapolis have turned up missing.
Unless the folks at the Star-Tribune failed math, any monkey shines that might be involved will fall short of what is required to overcome Coleman's lead.
Saxby Chambliss's victory in Georgia last Tuesday appears likely to be followed by Norm Coleman's in Minnesota, and the Democrats will be hung up two votes short of a veto-proof majority in the Senate.
