    This fellow is what we'd call a wet end back where I grew up. Which just happens to be Upstate New York.

    Way to waste your constituents' time and money, Doug.

    Hmm, on second thought, go for it.

    @seyswho: His constituents? Certainly you can't be referring to the people in New York's 23rd district, whose desires can't possibly be represented by Hoffman, due to the fact that he's a carpetbagger.

    @skt.smth: Well, I was trying to think of another word to use but couldn't find the proper way to say "morons who voted for him" without sounding petulant. I guessed people could figure out what I meant. Thanks for the nitpicky lecture though, I always enjoy those so very much!

    I'm confused. Didn't Republicans get their pink panties in a bunch when Gore de-conceded his informal concession to Bush over the phone (minutes after "conceding"*)? Didn't they pull the equivalent of a nine-year-old boy calling dibs on the front seat?

    * Yup: i-d-i-o-t. But still. #electionday

    But wasn't Owens actually sworn in? I could be wrong, but I think he's a sitting member of Congress right now. If they find that Hoffman (gag) got more votes, are they going to undo all the votes Owens has already cast? #electionday

    Disconcessions, unconcessions, anti-concessions.. it all sings "sore loser" to me.

    Also, can we all go back to the reality that NY-23 is a tiny backwater which even the cattle commit suicide to escape from? Christ. #electionday

    Wait, Pareene. This isn't fair. It was Coleman who initially won, and Franken who demanded a recount, and ultimately won. Which makes this sauce for the goose. It's unlikely that Hoffman will win, but he has as much right to demand a recount as Franken did. #electionday

    @MissNormaDesmond: Wasn't the Minnesota recount mandated by state law rather than Franken demand? True, Hoffman has every right to demand a recount but let's stick with the facts.

    @MissNormaDesmond: Doesn't conceding kind of waive that right though? Maybe we should have all recounts be automatic so premature conceding isn't an option, but that's another issue.

    @onebadclam: Ooops, sorry, you're right. However, let's say that the vote had been close, but not quite close enough to trigger the automatic recount. I wouldn't have faulted Franken for seeking one, and I don't think Hoffman should necessarily be faulted for doing so, except... #electionday

    @dissentingopinion: ...yeah, that's a valid point. Except didn't Gore unconcede? I guess I'm just very concerned that my team be completely fair, because I'm so sickened by the constant bullshit cheating and misrepresentation coming from Fox and Friends. #electionday

    @MissNormaDesmond: Franken didnt ask for a recount (it was granted by law) and Owens is already sworn in, meaning even if its found he DID win, legally he cant take office now that someone else was sworn in (look it up its happened before)

    This is purely a stunt, nothing more. #electionday

    @Jim Topoleski: Sometimes it's good to read the other comments before commenting -- the legalities of the MN recount have already been discussed. As for whatever law provides for someone's basically calling dibs on an office and keeping it whether or not he or she actually won the popular vote, say, that's kind of stupid, isn't it?

    The next step for a personality of Glen Beck's caliber, is to go international. Might I suggest Moscow's Cannibal Grotto for starters? #electionday
