No way she get's enough delegates to be the GOP candidate in 2012. And that's probably a good thing. I'd like to see her be a Senator at some point, but as for President...2016 at the very earliest is when I think she should explore that option...Quote:

One more Senator for the Democratic camp...
I almost feel sorry for MN election officials ruling on contested ballots.

So remember that you can only vote for the Lizard People to represent you in ONE and only ONE political position.Quote:
Ballot #5: Lizard People
This Beltrami County voter cast their ballot for Al Franken, but also put "Lizard People" as a write-in candidate, not only in the U.S. Senate race, but for several others. The county auditor/treasurer ruled that the vote should not be counted because it's considered an overvote. Representatives for Franken challenged that decision. (MPR Photo/Tom Robertson)
Can we call Franken the Lizard King if he wins?
The only bubble filled in for Senator was Franken.
Does just writing the name in without filling the bubble constitute an overvote, especially since he DID explicitly fill in the bubble for "Lizard People" in other races but not Franken's?
Would they have counted it a vote for the Lizard People if he wouldn't have filled in any bubble? If so, I think it's a fair decision.
What if he would had written Al Franken in the write in portion but not filled in a bubble?

I gotta think the Lizard People screwed the pooch on this one. Their sense of an "interchangeable parts" society, where the majority of Lizards are more than prepared to handle any number of tasks, didn't prepare them for the fact that humans prefer specific individuals for certain jobs. You'd have thought they would have done their homework on this one.
