Taking a look back at my 2009 predictions

I think it’s safe to say I don’t have much of a future as a psychic, based on how poorly I performed in my predictions for 2009:

Scott Walker will announce he’s running for Governor. (I know, this is an easy one, but I need a gimme or two on this list)

Well, I [...]

Say hello to Senator Franken!

The AP is reporting the Minnesota Supreme Court has ruled 5-0 that Democrat Al Franken be certified as the winner of the state’s long-running Senate race. The high court rejected a legal challenge from Republican Norm Coleman, who conceded the race to Franken earlier this afternoon. Coleman’s concession clears the way for Democrats to [...]

GOP gives Coleman a bailout, threatens “years long” fight

The national Republican Party has given former Minnesota Senator Norm Coleman his own personal bailout, to the tune of $750,000. The money will cover Coleman’s legal bills as he continues to fight to retain the Minnesota Senate seat he lost to Al Franken way back in November 2008. Despite a three-judge panel ruling Franken [...]

Feds expanding investigation into Norm Coleman

At the end of last year, I predicted former Minnesota Senator Norm Coleman would be implicated and convicted of public misconduct before Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich. At the time, that prediction seemed like a stretch, considering federal authorities had only begun investigating some shady financial dealings involving a close Coleman associate, but given the [...]

“A Minnesota court ruled Monday night that Democrat Al Franken has defeated Republican Norm Coleman and should be granted the election certificate that will allow him to take his seat in the U.S. Senate.

The Coleman camp immediately vowed to appeal. ” Big Shock There!!!

Minnesota’s next United States Senator…

Earlier today the Minnesota State Canvassing Board certified the results of the recount in Minnesota’s U.S. Senate race, with challenger Al Franken emerging with a 225 vote lead over incumbent Sen. Norm Coleman. After the results of the recount were certified, Franken issued a statement:

“I am proud to stand before you [...]

My predictions for 2009

Here’s a few predictions I’m going to make for 2009:

Scott Walker will announce he’s running for Governor. (I know, this is an easy one, but I need a gimme or two on this list) Sometime in 2009, Rep. Paul Ryan will announce he’s going to challenge Sen. Russ Feingold for Feingold’s U.S. Senate [...]

Shivering Sunday tidbits

It’s hard to believe it’s December 21st and the 2008 election is still not over. Al Franken now leads incumbent Norm Coleman by 35-50 votes in the Minnesota U.S. Senate recount, but things aren’t over yet. Officials still have to sort and count approximately 1,600 absentee ballots that were mistakenly rejected before the [...]

Thursday tidbits

Democrat Al Franken has pulled to within 2 votes of incumbent Norm Coleman in the U.S. Senate recount in Minnesota. I’ve heard a lot of screaming from some conservatives about how Franken and his people are trying to steal the election, but after what happened in the 2000 presidential election in Florida, I’m [...]

Houston is where the first of two lawsuits was filed alleging Nasser Kazeminy, a Bloomington financier, tried to steer $100,000 to [...]
