Maybe... Maybe...?

By Baxter

Oooh! We cats just love the fact that Minnesota will not certify a winner of the state's Senate race until next month.

The message to us is simple — Al Franken is going to win this seat. Right now, he's apparently ahead by 47 votes. (Hello, Nate Silver!) And if the ever-repellent Norm Coleman is talking about what else he'll do if he loses, we take that as an extra, added indication that All Signs Are Favorable.

We're already feeling pretty gifted this Christmas — between a solid Presidential win and added seats in both the House and the Senate. But there's something special about Minnesota. Maybe because Paul Wellstone died so tragically before his time, and because Norm Coleman is so patently inadequate to follow in his footsteps.

We cats PURR. Softly, just in case.
