OK, so it's the Minnesota Supreme Court. But there is some relevance here. Chief Justice Eric Magnuson is stepping down after serving only two years on the bench. This is significant for a couple of reasons.

or why "Victory is sweet even deep in the cheap seats"

By now we have all poured over the posts on multiple blogs and heard the pundits talk endlessly about how and why Barack Obama was elected as the 44th president of the United States. The numbers are clear: Barack Obama has won the electoral college in a landslide, and he has won the popular vote by more than seven million votes. But the real victory can be found beyond these metrics.

Looks like the Alaska Personnel board is ready to release their independent report on the troopegate report.

OK, this is getting bizarre. Mister dirty politics himself, Smilin' Norm Coleman, is suing Al Franken for defamation. This is not an unusual tactic for Coleman. In fact, this is the fourth time he has sued an opponent in the waning days of a political campaign. In other words, it's his "go-to" strategy.

What makes this a little odd is that Coleman has had a sizable lead in recent polls.

The American Conservative asked 18 conservative and independent "thinkers" how they will vote on Nov. 4. Their answers might surprise you.

(Hint: They do not like John McCain ... at all)

Those 50,000 Georgians who were told them may not be able to vote received some good news this evening. A panel of judges has ruled that all 50,000 voters will be allowed to vote on Nov. 4.

Well, it looks like there might still be some hurt feelings here in Minnesota after our (barely reelected) Governor, Tim "I'm a Hockey Dad" Pawlenty, was passed over as John McCain's BFF.

According to today's StarTribune,

For many months, nearly every time John McCain brought his presidential campaign to Minnesota, Gov. Tim Pawlenty was close by his side.

Not today.

We've read a lot about McCane's assurances this morning that our economic variables continue to be strong despite the news everyone else is reading about Wall Street. Too bad so few folks were at McCain's rally in Jacksonville to hear his optimism.

I can't believe they are even floating this idea, but McCain's inner circle is saying that the former maverick himself may not attend the RNC in St. Paul.

Looks like "super lawyer" Mike Ciresi got tired of spending his personal fortune, and has decided to drop out of the race. This leaves Al Franken and Jack Nelson-Pallmeyer as the lone DFL (Democratic Farmer Labor) candidates.

From the StarTrib

Attorney Mike Ciresi said this afternoon that he is dropping out of the race for the Democratic U.S. Senate nomination in Minnesota.

Ciresi, who unsuccessfully ran for Senate in 2000, said in a statement that "continuing the endorsement race would only lead to an unnecessary floor fight. It is time to step aside."
