Minnesota Recount: Missing ballots will stay missing by Ed Morrissey
The state of Minnesota has apparently given up the search for the allegedly missing 133 ballots in a Minneapolis precinct. The precinct itself never reported the ballots missing, but instead told the Secretary of State that they had likely counted 133 ballots twice by accident on Election Night. The decision will allow Minnesota to finally end its recount and certify the results over the objection of Al Franken, who will remain behind Norm Coleman in the Senate race.

HotAir: by Ed Morrissey Ziegler duplicates Obama voter poll results
When John Ziegler first launched his website, How Obama Got Elected, his poll showing that Obama voters appeared ignorant of the campaign issues touched off a heated controversy over the results. Ziegler offered a double-or-nothing challenge to anyone who wanted to fund another Zogby survey of McCain voters, but Zogby dropped out of the project instead. Now John is back with a new survey — and it verifies the first:
- 35 % of McCain voters got 10 or more of 13 questions correct.
- 18% of Obama voters got 10 or more of 13 questions correct.
- McCain voters knew which party controls congress by a 63-27 margin.
- Obama voters got the “congressional control” question wrong by 43-41.
- Those that got “congressional control” correct voted 56-43 for McCain.
- Those that got “congressional control” wrong voted 65-35 for Obama.
Those “exposed” to Fox News got “congressional control” correct 64-25 (+39)
Those “exposed” to CNN got “congressional control” correct 48-38 (+10)
Those “exposed” to Network news got “congressional control” correct 48-39 (+9)
Those “exposed” to print media got “congressional control” correct 52-37 (+15)
Those “exposed” to MSNBC got “congressional control” correct 55-35 (+20)
Those “exposed” to talk radio got “congressional control” correct 61-29 (+32)

PajamasMedia by Michele Catalano Christmas Shopping in a Time of Recession
How do we teach our kids “the real meaning of Christmas” in a world where Wal-Mart shoppers can trample a man to death?
As Black Friday dawned on Long Island, 2,000 shoppers waited in line outside a Wal-Mart in Valley Stream, New York. The anticipation of low-priced flat screen televisions and children’s games too much for them, they pushed and shoved their way past the locked doors before the store even opened. In the ensuing madness, a temporary Wal-Mart worker, a 34-year-old man, was trampled. As he lay on the ground, the bargain crazed shoppers stomped over him, and continued to shop even as the shocked Wal-Mart workers tried to get them to leave the store.

RightVoices: By: Pam Democrats Don’t Hit 60: Republican wins GA Senate runoff; Blocks Dem super-majority…
Chambliss’s double-digit victory dashed Democrats’ dreams of securing a filibuster-proof, 60-vote “super majority” in the Senate and buoyed a Republican Party battered by staggering losses in the Nov. 4 general election.
Is everyone clear on this? Chambliss’ victory thwarted Democrats’ hopes of winning a 60 seat filibuster-proof majority in the Senate.
