Funny Business in Minnesota - WSJ.com
Minnesotans like to think that their state isn’t like New Jersey or Louisiana, and typically it isn’t. But we can’t recall a similar recount involving optical scanning machines that has changed so many votes, and in which nearly every crucial decision worked to the advantage of the same candidate. The Coleman campaign clearly misjudged the politics here, and the apparent willingness of a partisan like Mr. Ritchie to help his preferred candidate, Mr. Franken. If the Canvassing Board certifies Mr. Franken as the winner based on the current count, it will be anointing a tainted and undeserving Senator.
There go your pretentions of squeaky-clean government, Minnesota. Welcome to the election shenanigans club, where every decision favors the Democrat, every judgement call favors the Democrat, and recounts continue until the Democrat wins. You might have a chance to clean house if the corruption hasn’t sunk in too deeply yet, but given the track record of every other state to follow this path, I doubt you will.

Should I be flattered that Mike thinks I’m you, Bill? ;-)
Several people have made that error since you became an editor.
Anyway, perhaps I am the one who should feel flattered.
