PPB Focus: Michigan Senate recount


With all the recent talk of Obama's cabinet picks, Caroline Kennedy getting a Senate seat because of her last name and the destruction of the American economy, I thought it'd be nice to turn the page over to Michigan's recount.

What's that, you say? You haven't thought about this in a while? Hey, who has? Norm Coleman and funnyman Al Franken's camps have been battling over a minuscule amount of votes since Nov. 4, desperately trying to scrape up enough to win or, alternatively, enough to ensure the other guy loses. It's drudgery, tedious and not even Franken's hare krishna skit could liven it up.

Let's take a look: Franken thinks he's only 192 votes behind - a number that can conceivably be beat, if some 200 votes that Coleman said have been double counted are tossed into the mix.

What's next: More tediousness, recounts, arguing over every single little tiny detail that could possibly sway the election one way or the other. In short, the American way.
