   claiming victory on election night was slimy enough to put him in the pond scum hall of fame.

     Stevens did that?  Or Coleman?

       He declared victory and said that although state law permitted a recount he hoped Franken would forgo it considering the cost to the taxpayers. Franken was quoted later wondering aloud what Coleman would’ve done had the shoe been on the other foot.

       As for Stevens, I don’t think even the Republicans support him anymore.

   Booman don’t forget about Al Franken in Minnesota, he is in a tight race only 300 votes down before the recount. I hope to send Al Franken some coin soon, to help.

   Here’s one more resource on election stuff:

   There’s a number of local election blogs at McClatchy that seem to do a better job of covering the issues related to the recounts, as well as on other local political issues. McClatchy is also a very good resource for national issues, as I found out when their coverage before the Iraq was left every other form of media in the dust.

     Just to help people find what I talking about — regional blogs are at the bottom of the politics section. Here’s an Alaska blog:

     The national coverage at McClatchy is superior, too.
