Monday, January 5, 2009 at 21:03
Well, it only took two months but Democrat Al Franken is on the verge of unseating Republican Norm Coleman in the Minnesota Senate race:
A Minnesota board has certified results showing Democrat Al Franken winning the state's U.S. Senate recount over Republican Norm Coleman, but a legal challenge probably will keep the race in limbo. The Canvassing Board's declaration Monday starts a seven-day clock for Coleman to file a lawsuit protesting the result. If he doesn't, Franken will get the election certificate he needs to take the seat in Washington.
