Wow, I just got this email today and I sent him my email before the vote. He must have been seriously backlogged... or the tubes were full.

What makes you think he was backlogged and didn't read your vote?

He says right here:

He heard you loud and clear, and took your thoughts to heart. He then purposefully pooped on your kitchen floor, turned around and smiled at you, and said you need his conservative vote in Washington.

Seems pretty clear to me. It's just that he's finally now responding to your email.

When I went to bed with 99% of the polls reporting... Norm had around a 3000 vote lead on Franken.

When I woke up in the morning they were reporting that he had a 700+ vote difference, and then later in the day it settled down to under a 500 vote difference.

Can anyone explain this? I can understand the 99% figure being a bit wrong, but not the news after all the polls had reported in.

Well I'm glad I waited in line for two hours to vote... I was beginning to wish I was a tactical nuke so I could take the idiocy that's south Minneapolis with me.

Seriously, if you can't speak English... why should you be voting again? Gah...

Yeah, the guy who campaigned on *not* requiring ID at the polls.
