    Well, obviously the voters first choice was Franken, then they changed their mind; multiple choice study guides confirm that your first selection is usually the most likely to be correct.

    Yeh, that's the ticket...

    I think it's pretty obvious there were cynical challenges on both sides.

    Almost as much as Lizard People.

    I love that Lizard People was written in for several races, but sometimes Lizard People did not warrant a vote, just the creation of a bubble. :D

    Yes, but fortunately, the Lizard People can be held at bay using the power of triangles...

    I think the voter showed a great deal of knowledge of the system of checks and balances. Lizard People were his top choice for President but he wanted divided government so didn't vote for them in the legislative races.

    Not looking good for the Al Franken Decade... He didn't make up much ground today and currently trails by 120.
