Al Franken--not a comedian anymore

Someone who's been following the recount of the Coleman-Franken senate race in Minnesota reports on NRO:

"...Franken isn’t talking or acting like a winner. As I wrote on Power Line this week, I conclude that Franken anticipates losing the recount. Franken has already resorted to litigation over rejected absentee ballots and threatened further litigation over the rejection of certain absentee ballots. He has met with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid on the subject and won Reid’s expression of concern implicitly raising the threat that the Senate Democratic majority may overturn the result reached in Minnesota if the rejected absentee ballots in issue aren’t counted. Al Franken hasn’t been funny in a very long time, but that is really unfunny."

Absolutely. Read the whole thing. I suspect others following this race have come to the same conclusion. So here's what Republicans and conservatives need to do: get out in front of this yesterday, ASAP. Publicize what Franken is doing, publicize what he might be seeking to get Senate Democrats to do. Build public opinion against it, now.

And don't let this election be stolen. Republicans need every senate seat they can get, and all evidence suggests they won this--narrowly, yes, but fair and square.
