"As of Thursday night, Republican Sen. Norm Coleman's official lead over Democratic challenger Al Franken had shrunk to single digits, with 5,861 challenged ballots remaining to be counted. But a newspaper's count of remaining challenges suggests Franken will end up the winner. The Minneapolis Star Tribune, having just wrapped its own count of the ballots in question, predicts a final margin of just 89 votes, in Franken's favor. A Franken win would give Democrats 59 Senate seats." - Steven Perez from Bookmarklet
