“Soros Boo$ts Franken,” says the NYPost

Franken trails Coleman by 216 votes, so the Dems are doing what they always do: send Soros to the rescue.

And Al Gore, too.

SOROS BOO$TS FRANKEN

Left-wing billionaire financier George Soros is using his financial muscle at a Manhattan fund-raiser tonight to help Al Franken win a recount in Minnesota’s Senate election.

Soros – the hedge-fund honcho and sugar daddy of the Democratic Party – will host a soirée for Franken at his Carnegie Hill digs to help cover the candidate’s costs to monitor the statewide recount.

The special guest: Al Gore, who knows a thing or two about recounts.

At last count, Franken trails GOP incumbent Norm Coleman by just 216 votes out of 2.9 million cast. Minnesota yesterday initiated a hand recount that is not expected to be completed until mid-December.

Ed says

Gonna be a long few weeks. Don’t expect much real news until the recount is finished.

Well, I do expect a lot of Soros’s money coming to the rescue.

More from Power Line.

    These recounts always head towards the advantage of the democrat. What’s the possibility of 100% for each recount? Even my liberal professors told me never to accept 100% of anything.

    But then Franken has the man with the reverse Midas touch on his team. Let’s be honest and give credit to Al Gore for choosing not to run against the excesses of the Clinton years and picking exactly the wrong tactics for a recount in Florida. It takes a special talent to be that woebegone!

    And if Franken wins, one thing will indeed be confirmed: that democracy has become a joke!
