He's no Ralph Nader, but Minnesota's Dean
Barkley is likely to have saved one particulaly
volnerable Senate seat for the GOP.

KARE11 is reporting that GOP candidate and
all around weasil Norm Coleman is leading his
Democratic opponent, Al Franken, by an
extremely slim margin.

Norm Coleman (Douchebag) 1,205,883 42%
Al Franken (Democrat) 1,203,315 42%

Dean Barkley (Spoiler) 435,287 15%

Oh. The Minneapolis Star Tribune says:

: Returns showed Independence Party candidate Dean
: Barkley trailing a distant third, but also pulling enough
: Democrats and independents to possibly cost Franken
: the race.
:
: [...]
:
: Contrary to earlier indications, the exit polling showed
: that Barkley made a bigger dent in Franken's support,
: pulling slightly more Democrats than Republicans into
: his camp.
