"The work left for the state canvassing board to do next week – the re-allocation of withdrawn challenges – is work we have already done in our internal count, because that count has always assumed that all challenges will fail. On Tuesday, I will stand before you with that work completed. Al Franken will have a lead of between 35 and 50 votes. And, at some point not too long after that, Al Franken will stand before you as the Senator-Elect from Minnesota."

Boy he’s gonna mix it up on the Constitution Avenue side of the Capitol!
Nate Silver projected Franken would win by 27. Guys a freaking genius.
Now, can he have a limo?
One of my dreams is to shake the hand of the honorable Senator Al Franken some day. This is what can happen if Democratic Party candidates refuse to give up.
Thank you senator. May I call you Al? You have brought joy to our household, sir. I shall point to your stubborn and nod early and often with admiration. Huzzah!
