Call me cuckoo if you want

Why are Democrats so bent on seeing Al Franken become a Senator? This recount up in Minnesota is a joke. If you want to win an election run a good candidate and get your voters to the polls-raise the dead like they do in Chicago if you have to but this trying to steal an election after it is over is just plain dumb. And all this for Al Franken, who if seated as a Senator is bound to embarrass his party! What is so darn important that Franken win this seat?
