Too early to tell yet. The number of contested ballots in the recount is much smaller than the number of initially contested ballots that were then withdrawn. The latter group has not yet been (re)counted. Now, since the Franken campaign is still trying to get incorrectly rejected absentee ballots included, and the Coleman campaign has been trying to stop that, it would seem to me both campaigns expect Coleman to be ahead after all the existing ballots are counted. Regardless of any of that, it will still definitely be close enough for any legal wrangling either side wishes to try.
Here's a piece no one cared about. Meh, whatever, probably the most enjoyable article I did during my stint at TIME. Premiered a month before I got laid-off. The nail in the coffin? Ya think?
Here's me going after Al. I didn't so much have a problem with him, as I had a problem with media acting like this dude was the go-to guy for everything black.
This was my first real story at time. I was writing for the Business section, a real change of direction for me. At any rate, it's about Wal-Mart's attempts to colonize the inner-city. As much as I enjoyed this piece, I mostly enjoyed going out to Chicago, which is a beautiful, beautiful city.
This a piece I did about the cops just outside our nation capitol, in Prince George's County, a few years back. I wanted to offer a counter to the dumb, conventional wisdom that if you paint your police force black, you could eradicate police brutality. In fact, Prince George's--one of the richest, blackest counties in the country--also had one of the most brutal police force's in the country.

I guess he really is good enough and smart enough. And, doggone it, people really like him.
Yeah, I saw it this morning in the Strib, I got kinda excited but we'll see. It seems like there is still alot of legal wrangling to go.

I guess we might get the Al Franken decade, after all.
But he has to do it without the Lizard People's vote. :(

I hope it happens for him, and for the state.
I think Franken will make a GREAT senator. And it will shorten Rush Limbaugh's wretched life by at least 5 years.
Go Al!
