Minnesota Senate Race Update

Al Franken is now only 237 votes behind Norm Coleman in Minnesota, where nearly 3,000,000 votes were cast in that Senate race:

The margin in the tightest Senate race in the country bounced like the stock market throughout the day, with the difference between Coleman and Franken dropping, then rising briefly to 590 votes before shooting down to a razor-thin 237 as of 9:27 a.m.

In a reversal of the previous day, when Coleman had declared victory and suggested that Franken should waive a recount, Coleman kept to himself on Thursday, while Franken called reporters to talk about the prospects for a continued narrowing of the count.

The best part about all of this is that the mandatory statewide recount hasn't even started yet.

By the way, this is hilarious. And it is pretty hard to argue with this.
