Franken The Likely Winner As Minnesota Recount Heads To Finish Line
By Eric Kleefeld - December 18, 2008, 4:28PM



Don't look now, but it looks like Al Franken may win the Minnesota Senate race.

A series of developments in the last few days have given the very strong impression that Al is suddenly in a position to prevail -- and a resolution of the fight might even come as early as tomorrow.

For those of you who haven't been playing close attention to every twist and turn in the recount fight, let's take stock of where we are, a month and a half into this epic struggle of vote-counting and legal battles that has seen the conventional wisdom swing dramatically from one side to the other.

Franken is still nominally behind in the vote count. But he's been steadily gaining on Coleman all day today, and the pace things have been going at points to a very narrow Franken win when the dust is settled.
