Wall Street Journal: Franken Stole Election
Gateway Pundit —
The Wall Street Journal tells us something we already knew this morning: The unfortunate lesson is that you don't need to win the vote on Election Day as long as your lawyers are creative enough to have enough new or disqualified ballots counted after the fact. Mr. Franken trailed Mr. Coleman by 725 votes after the initial count on election night, and 215 after the first canvass. The Democrat's strategy from the start was to manipulate the recount in a way that would discover votes that could add to his total. If Franken had any ...
Senator Inhofe: "It Looks Like We're Going to Get the Clown From Minnesota"
Gateway Pundit —
We can take this as a sort of consolation prize after the democrats just stole the Minnesota senate seat. Minnesota Senator Al Franken Senator Inhofe told reporters yesterday, "It looks like we are going to get the clown from Minnesota." The Tulsa World reported: Inhofe said the much-anticipated conclusion of a Senate race in Minnesota that will give Democrats the 60 votes needed to overcome Republican filibusters would not be enough to save the climate change bill. “I’ll tell you what a lot of people are ...
Media Skim Over Franken Being 'Finally' Seated
NewsBusters.org - Exposing Liberal Media Bias —
... Many media outlets are glancing over "Senator-Select" Al Franken with a sentence or two emphasizing the word "finally." ABC news anchor Bianna Golodryga this morning reported "Comedian-turned politician Al Franken expects to be sworn in next week as senator from Minnesota. The state Supreme Court has finally certified last November's election results where Franken won by just 312 votes." What's left out is the Wall Street Journal editorial page story of a "legal street fight" that led to an overturned ...
Democrats Now Own It All Now That Franken Has Stolen The Election
Flopping Aces —
The WSJ describes the Franken win perfectly. No need to actually win an election, just find all the fraudulent voters you can::
The unfortunate lesson is that you don’t need to win the vote on Election Day as long as your lawyers are creative enough to have enough new or disqualified ballots counted after the fact.

Murdoch Press Blows Gasket Over Franken Victory
TPM Election Central —
... The Wall Street Journal also has an editorial decrying the election process in Minnesota -- an essay that is so full of factual errors and distortions about what happened, it can drive you nuts if you'd spent countless hours following all the gritty details like I did. Its major fallacy is to accuse the Franken campaign of committing supposedly dirty maneuvers, without mentioning that the Coleman side was participating in the exact same activities just as fervently or even more so. ...

Morning Skim: Regime Change How-To
Opinionator —
... of resistance alive. Statements from all three symbolic leaders (Mousavi, Karroubi, and Khatami) were issued yesterday. The claim that “it’s not over” could also draw from the debate amongst the clerics; this is now being punctuated by dramatic statements such as Ayatollah Ghaffari’s speech and now Ayatollah Taheri’s “fatwa” calling the election illegitimate and fraudulent. Election Law @Moritz : Edward Foley responds to the Wall Street Journal’s editorial yesterday that said, “ Mr. Franken now goes to the Senate having effectively stolen an election.” Foley says, “ ...

NBC Puffs Al Franken With Softball Questions to New Senator

... To be fair, she did reference the closeness of the election. Noting Franken's 312 vote margin of victory, Vieira observed, "Are you conscious of that as you head to Washington D.C. next week?" However, there was no mention of the reports of irregularities in the state. If the co-host wished to challenge the incoming senator, she could have read from a July 2 Wall Street Journal editorial which asserted, "Mr. Franken now goes to the Senate having effectively stolen an election." ...
WSJ Whackos in Denial: 'Franken Stole It (and So Did Gregoire in '04!)'
The BRAD BLOG —
... In an unbylined Wall Street Journal editorial (why a liar and sore-loser like WSJ/GOP operative John Fund is so ashamed to put his name on his own writing we'll never know...okay, maybe we do), the once-respectable paper shamelessly asserts: "Mr. Franken now goes to the Senate having effectively stolen an election." ...
Pondering What Secret Beliefs Drive Wingnuttia
Library Grape —
... This morning’s Wall Street Journal opinion section contains a lot of what one expects to see. There’s an opinion piece making a big fuss over the fake scandal at the EPA. There’s an editorial claiming that the latest job figures prove the failure of Obama’s economic plan — something I dealt with in the Times. All of this follows on yesterday’s editorial asserting that the Minnesota senatorial election was stolen. All of this is par for the course; the WSJ editorial page has been like this for 35 years. Nonetheless, it ...
WSJ: Franken Stole the Election
Little Green Footballs —
The Wall Street Journal’s editors weigh in on Al Franken’s Senate win: The ‘Absentee’ Senator.
The Minnesota Supreme Court yesterday declared Democrat Al Franken the winner of last year’s disputed Senate race, and Republican incumbent Norm Coleman’s gracious concession at least spares the state any further legal combat. The unfortunate lesson is that you don’t need to win the vote on Election Day as long as your lawyers are creative enough to have enough new or disqualified ballots counted after the fact. ...
