Senate Update: Gosh Darn It, People Like Both

With 43% of the MN vote in, Sen. Norm Coleman (R) and Al Franken (D) are virtually tied, with Franken leading 42%-41%. Although Ramsey Co. is largely in, about 70% Hennepin Co. is not (the big Dem counties). However a lot of the rural vote is still out too, so it's still a bit early to predict which candidate may have more outstanding votes in the bank. Coleman seems to be trailing John McCain in MN by only 2 points, while Franken is currently trailing Barack Obama by about 12 points, which may indicate that Dean Barkley (IP) is hurting Franken far more than Coleman.
