Let's start off with one of the usual bitchy comments:

Another clown in the Senate, what’s new...

But at least someone knows what to expect in the thread:

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Call me a Waaaaaambulance!

I'm not exactly sure what's up with this comment:

Is there a pool on how long before Franken gets out of control and attacks someone in the senate?

And of course, there are several comments with much thanks to various GOP figures:

Thank you John McCain.

It sure is nice to see Coleman fight this one as far as possible.

Coleman concedes. Franken will hold a press conference at 5:15. The GOP can KMA for not fighting this. They were not out of options. My donations will be funding trips to DC this year.

Not that those spineless bstrds in the Congress would filibuster anything anyway, but WTF do they have to spend money on that would have been better spent than fighting this to the Supremes? Anything come to YOUR mind? Because I am stunned.

Coleman concedes election was corrupt and stolen. Another national disgrace. As long as the leadership of the GOP are all still searching for their gonads, this corruption will continue.

I hope the 15% who voted for the Independence Party (formerly Reform Party) candidate are proud of themselves. You sure did a heck of a job punishing those evil Republicans for not being conservative enough.

This is why I am a conservative and not a republican. Not a backbone or ounce of fight to be found in the GOP. The party symbol should be changed to an elephant bending over with a smile on his face.

You mean like this?

I love this comment, though:

So now Norm Coleman has the distinction of losing to Jesse Ventura and Al Franken. I think that’s a message that he needs to hang it up.

And this being FR, hyperbole is of course not in any shortage:

Honduras is looking pretty good right about now.

And of course, why would you want to win an election if the voters don't want you anyway?

Coleman should have done this long ago. Who in their right mind would want to serve voters who were so weak in their support?

I'll post more if I see any more good ones

update - some more from another thread

Ohhh nooo! (Where is the cartoon of the guy running around with his hair on fire?)

I don't know if I have that one but I do have this:

I'm still shocked this thing that basically started off as a joke is actually happening. How was it even close? Al Franken? Are you kidding me? I'm not a Pawlenty fan, but we have to seriously look in to whether or not we want candidates for national office that come from a state unable to elect sane people.

More hyperbole:

US elections = Iranian elections

I think this person doesn't realize which party has a PR problem:

Positive spin: adding Franken to Pelosi, Frank, Boxer, and the rest of the cast could help the public realize what a sick joke this administration is. That’s the only good I can see coming from this.

We also can't talk about elections without mentioning the bane of the entire universe...

Look, if the GOP doesn’t start to take on ACORN and similar organizations we can kiss free elections goodbye forever. I have been calling my Senators to get them on the ball to make SURE ACORN is not around for 2010 or 2012...

And it wouldn't be Free Republic without more of those threats of left-wing violence!

Maybe it's time to march on Minnestota and I'm not kidding. These thieves are stealing these elections and we're allowing them to get away with it.

When do we get our own Honduran coup?

Here someone is making an electoral prediction:

What has been successfully pulled off in Minnesota will be repeated all over the country so that there will always be a veto proof Democrat majority from now on. I predict (bookmark this message) that the Democrats will gain seats in the midterm elections of 2010.

Because the only way Democrats could gain seats is via fraud and not because everyone hates the GOP

Nothing for a love for democracy:

This democratic republic has failed. We allowed too many stupid people to vote and have a say in our lives

What this election has shown us is that our electoral process is broken. There is no such thing as a clean, free, and open election anymore in America. Acorn can manufacture any results required to elect a Democrat, and the liberal court system will declare it valid, just like the Mullahs in Iran. Acorn succeeded in creating their desired results in every election they were involved with last November, and with billions of our tax dollars, they will be even more successful in the future.

However, I can agree with this person's sentiment:

Something is seriously wrong if it takes eight months to resolve an election.

Finally, can anyone make any sense out of this one?
