Harris, you voted for Bush twice right? Did you ever stop to question your grasp of reality? I don't suppose you watched the count, today. The voices told you not to. Nothing like a fair count to make me feel good about 2009! Ever wonder why Democrats are so confident when counting wrongly rejected ballots? We know why they are being wrongly rejected... name sounds too African American to be valid... and who is doing the wrongful rejecting... same side headed to court Monday morning. R.

They pay him well to write this crap and pretend it's someone else That's why they all sound like they're parroting one another's talking points--because they're the same person. Brodkorb now will collect a state paycheck to do the same for the MN Senate Republican Caucus.

I don't see how he could do this without smearing the whole state of Minnesota, including a lot of Republicans, but that's what I expect him to do, The Franken people should point out that he's effectively badmothing the state he hopes to respresent. Coleman has been talking to a Swiftboater who was also involved in Florida 2000: http://thehill.com/campaign-2008/gop-recount-guru-advises-coleman-2008-12-22.html Hack Republican Senator Cornyn has started to stink up the place. http://www.politico.com/blogs/scorecard/1208/Cornyn_Franken_camp_promoting_chaos.html#comments I think that Coleman is going to pull out all the dirty-politics stops and try to discredit the process.

They are just mad because everyone can see how open and honest the recount has been. It makes their bias/fraud/partisan stories hard to sell.

The Uptake stepped up to the plate when the State of Minnesota couldn't provide personnel to work the video feed from the State Canvassing Board and the MN Supreme Court hearings because of the holidays. And, The Uptake offered the feed to any other media outlet that wanted to put it on their web sites, free of charge. Prior to this time, The Uptake took the pool video that everyone else used since it was provided by the State. The coverage has been the same for both feeds - no commentary, no partisanship, no comments - just providing unedited video of the hearings. Brodkorb and his group are trying to put doubt onto an impeccably transparent process that Minnesota should be proud of. I know I am. Mark Ritchie and the Canvassing Board have done a superb job in dealing with the challenged ballots and The Uptake has done an invaluable public service in providing live video when the State could not. This recount will be looked at as the correct way to conduct such business and will serve as a model for the rest of the nation. Ritchie and his team in the SOS office deserve our thanks for their integrity, The Uptake deserves our thanks for their part in supporting clean journalism, and Brodkorb needs to face reality.
