    Although since Dave offered no citation, I saw no need to offer one of my own.

    Interesting. So you prefer to let others set your standards for you...

    that assumes I have standards.

    actually, I prefer others seek out the information on their own rather than trust me. teach them how to fish rather than just give them one.

    The recount news from Minnesota is starting to get interesting.

    Norm Coleman, the incumbent, is holding on to a very slim lead, 115 votes, with 60% of the precincts in the state re-counted.

    In the meantime, there may be some dramatic events unfolding. In politics, even a few hours is a long time, and the news there is a developing phenomenon. I'll keep an eye on the situation, not merely for my own interest but also because I took the trouble to write this article in the first place.

    If I have the time, there will be further reports tomorrow, if events warrant it....

    Cindy,

    The first link is bad.

    I tend to prefer the St. Paul Pioneer Press over the Star Tribune for my news from St. Paul....

    Go here and look in the upper left hand corner for a quick summary, and from there you can go to articles on the recount. Have a pleasant Sunday.
