Just wait until all the legal procedures are done and Mr. Franken has been declared the winner before he seats him, no ifs,ands or buts. Then the Republicans would not have have a leg to stand on. Of course that would not stop some people from believing that the people that recounted the votes, and that would include Republicans, Democrats and Independents, all got together and cheated for Al Franken.

What a joke. She was RIGHT about one thing, though....there is a class difference between her and Caroline. Caroline HAS it, Palin doesn't.
