The Minnesota Independent continues to cover the Al Franken/Norm Coleman cliffhanger race , where the vote difference continues to slide, now down to 221 votes in the whole state. It's an interesting read, if for no other reason to reinforce just how slippery and incomplete vote tallies are, even after they are "official". And in this case there isn't even any evidence of what anyone considers serious irregularities - just the normal run of things.
