Unfinished business
Yes, the campaign that never ended has still not ended:
The U.S. Senate race in Minnesota is nowhere close to being decided, state officials said yesterday.The recount in that election will not be completed until mid-December, and even then, a candidate or voter can challenge the outcome, Secretary of State Mark Ritchie said. Sen. Norm Coleman (R) held a 239-vote lead over Democrat Al Franken as of late yesterday. That margin of less than 0.5 percentage points triggers an automatic recount under Minnesota law.
Even then, it stil ain’t over. That just moves the battle to the courtroom. But that ain’t all:

Chambliss fell just short of the 50 percent mark in Tuesday’s voting. A result is still pending in Alaska, where Sen. Ted Stevens (R) ran for reelection against Anchorage Mayor Mark Begich (D) despite his felony conviction last month of failing to report gifts.
