Who did this person vote for?



So, can you tell who this person voted for? I know I can. So why is it that Al Franken's campaign to win the Senate seat in Minnesota over Norm Coleman is challenging this ballot because the "intent" of the voter is unclear. Really? Seriously? Okay, so, are the Democrats going to challenge ever single close election in this way now? Is this the legacy of Al Gore's 2000 challenge in Florida? You didn't see Ted Stevens (the crook) trying to win with last ditch efforts and challenged ballots. He gracefully (to his credit) bowed out. That is what Mr. Franken should do. Finish the recount, sure, but this vote is so obviously for Coleman that I can't imagine it being challenged. So, stop this craziness already Mr. Franken, you lost, albeit be only a couple hundred votes, but you lost. Get over it.

I showed this picture to my four year old and asked "Who was voted for in this picture?" He immediately pointed to the squiggle in front of Coleman's name. So, apparently, the voter's intent is obvious to a four year old, but not to Al Franken's team.

The best part is that legal pursuit of a recount is funded at taxpayer expense! Maybe this is an area that Obama can cut the budget...no more recounts!!!
