I LOVE AL(!) and I'm very proud of my state for mandating a recount. It isn't democracy if we're unwilling to ensure that we get a democratically elected candidate.
I didn't really dislike Norm before, but he's been pretty smug in response to this. I don't think Al would behave that way were the situation reversed. He should have more respect for his opponent and the large number of Minnesotans who support Al Franken. It reminds me of George W. Bush declaring his mandate after he squeaked by in 2004.
