HOW MANY FELONIOUS VOTES TO ELECT A SENATOR-- Just a Minute Radio for Monday 100719

            It’s a good day for countin’ votes folks… well… perhaps a trifle premature…

 

            Just remember the long days of ‘hanging chads’ etc. etc. etc. in Florida.  Some like Mr. Al Gore the *former* Vice President – which he seems to forget sometimes, just seem never to get over it.  On the other hand there have been *great* VP candidates… like … well …like Ummm… well… Harold Stassen… and looks like former California Moonbeam Brown is bent on beating the California bushes again… and again… and again…

 

            In my only participatory Presidential political campaign… I got enough losing in 1964 to last a lifetime… and I thought the record of carrying only five states – which Senator Goldwater captured – would stand for a lifetime until the B-24 WWII Pilot came along from upper West… --- no it wasn’t Hubert Humphrey… he was the “Happy Warrior” – always upbeat.   No this was the man who ran against Ronald Reagan who was running for his second term… Oh… you know… his name … I,  I…. I almost remember it… Oh how soon they (me) forget… oh It wasn’t him anyway … it was Nixon’s second term…  I know somebody will send me an e-mail and tell me for whom I am seeking and cudgeling my brain…Mc… Somebody… (n4zhk@arrl.net) is my easy to do e-mail address…

 

            But anyway … both Walter Mondale and this fellow carried only one state… AND the District of Columbia… which I’ve always thought made a good point *against* bringing the District into the Union… Even given a bigger voice in home rule… they’ve had trouble ‘runnin’ the store… and the US always has to bail out the District… Ah well – politics… easy to forget.  [Some are easier to forget than others. (J)]

 

            It’s getting late… and I’m getting groggy…. So see you soon.

 

            Cordially, IN HIM

“JUST A MINUTE”

HOW MANY FELONIOUS VOTES TO ELECT A SENATOR?”

Just a Minute: -- John Fund, Political Diary Editor in  the July 14^th WALL ST. JOURNAL asks --´Did illegal felon [votes win] the critical 2008 Minnesota Senate election?” Here’s why --

GOP Senator Norm Coleman had a 725 vote lead the day after the election.  Six months of recounts reversed that and gave Democrat Comedian Al Franken a victory by a 312 vote margin.  That gave the Democrats the critical 60^th vote to bludgeon us with Obama-Care.

The Minnesota Majority – a watchdog group combing the records -- found 289 convicted felons voted in Hennepin County and 52 illegal votes in St. Paul’s Ramsey County.  That’s 341 votes -- or 29 that say Senator Coleman should still be the other Minnesota Senator instead of Al Franken.

The Minnesota Majority apparently is being stonewalled in Hennepin County – but the D.A. in Ramsey County is taking the case seriously and asking for 15 investigators to run down the information. 

How do you think the White House will respond?
