If the Dems were doing this, you all would be screaming bloody murder. Colman is turning out to be a bigger crook than even I thought. BREAKING: Coleman Lawyer Declares Trial "A Legal Quagmire" By Eric Kleefeld - February 18, 2009, 5:17PM Check out the response from Team Coleman to the election court having ruled against their request for reconsideration of the court's opinion to throw out about 1,000 ballots that Coleman wants counted: They're declaring that there are now serious legal problems in this election. Coleman lawyer/spokesman Ben Ginsberg said in a statement to the Star Tribune that there is a "fatal inconsistency" in the counting of votes, and that the effect of the court's ruling "is a legal quagmire that makes ascertaining a final legitimate result to this election even more difficult." The court's rulings are creating a legal quagmire? I've been keeping track of this disputed result since Election Night itself, longer than even Ginsberg has been on board with Coleman. Trust me, we were in that zone a while ago. Also note that Ginsberg questioned the possibility of a "legitimate" result to this election. It's very clear at this point that Coleman is laying the groundwork for an appeal, should this court rule Franken the winner. And given some prior moments in this trial, we can't rule out the idea that Coleman might shoot for a do-over, by declaring the election unsolvable. tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com

> A high school named after the preacher in reddest part of red state AZ and you wonder why they don't get the stimulus bill. You have a way of running away from the issues when you can't answer tough questions. But I'll ask anyway. What portion of this bill do you believe is "stimulative"? Is it the $81 Billion for "protecting the vulnerable"? Or is it the "State and Local Fiscal Relief" ($144 Billion)? Or would it be the $59 Billion for Health Care or the $53 Billion for Education and training? These are the right's talking points. They are a very small portion of the stimulus bill. While they are stimulative, there are other provisions within the bill that are even more stimulative. This is just another Taliban raid on the part of the GOP. Very sad. None of that crap stimulates a damned thing. All it does is encourage people to sit on their asses instead of working. How you worry about people and their level of activity. Why don't you worry about getting your own house [the GOP] in order? You are so fing partisan it would not matter what Obama did you would think it was great.* Partisan because I want what's best for my country? I don't think so.
