Amy Klobuchar weighed in with a significant proposal this weekend: seat the unofficial winner until all legal challenges are finalized.<br><br>\"If the Canvassing Board declares a winner, that should be our senator,\" said the Minnesota Democrat. Even if a court challenge were to follow, she added, \"[The Senate] could seat a senator pending the litigation.\"<br><br><b>Should Klobuchar's vision bear out, it would likely result in Al Franken taking over the Senate seat on a temporary basis. Democrats would get a 59th caucus member and a potentially important vote on key legislative matters.</b><br><br><b>The Minnesota canvassing board is set to certify the vote total from the election sometime in early January (a date is not yet official). As it stands know, Franken should emerge ahead in the count by a scant 47 votes. Sen. Norm Coleman would then have seven days to challenge the board's conclusion, a course of action his campaign has said it will almost certainly pursue.</b><br><br>The legal gridlock that would ensue could mean that there is no official Senate winner for weeks, if not much longer. Thirty-four years ago in New Hampshire, a similar situation took place, and the state was short a representative in the Senate for ten months.<br><br>At this point, there seems to be little political will from the Governor's office to resolve the problem. Republican Tim Pawlenty's office has said he only has the authority to appoint a replacement in the case of a permanent vacancy. So Klobuchar's statement, reported by the Minneapolis Star Tribune, carries particular weight.<br><br>There is, moreover, historical precedent for seating Franken on a temporary basis. In 1996, Mary Landrieu won the Louisiana Senate seat in a hotly contested race. But her opponent, State Representative Woody Jenkins, alleged that massive election fraud had contributed to his defeat. The Republican-controlled U.S. Senate agreed to look into the charges but allowed Landrieu to serve in the interim, pending investigation. The Rules Committee ultimately discovered that Jenkins had coached and paid witnesses to testify, thus discrediting his complaints of corruption and securing Landrieu's place in the Senate.</i><br><br>JANUARY is going to B a \"loaded\" MONTH!   :&gt;)", "is_last_child": false, "can_reply": true, "down_voted": false, "real_date": "2008-12-28_20:41:34", "killed": false, "user_key": "GreenLadyHere", "has_been_anonymized": false, "edited": false, "author_is_moderator": false, "from_request_user": false, "votable": true, "date": "11 months ago", "approved": true, "num_replies": 4, "is_first_child": false, "email": "", "parent_post_id": null, "depth": 0, "points": 0, "author_is_creator": false, "is_realtime": false}, "4703320": {"up_voted": false, "ip": "", "has_replies": false, "message": "spirit:   GOOD ONE!!!", "is_last_child": false, "can_reply": true, "down_voted": false, "real_date": "2008-12-28_20:12:09", "killed": false, "user_key": "GreenLadyHere", "has_been_anonymized": false, "edited": false, "author_is_moderator": false, "from_request_user": false, "votable": true, "date": "11 months ago", "approved": true, "num_replies": 0, "is_first_child": false, "email": "", "parent_post_id": 4703223, "depth": 3, "points": 0, "author_is_creator": false, "is_realtime": false}, "4700772": {"up_voted": false, "ip": "", "has_replies": false, "message": "I'm taking a break for a few.

I think they should have the same rights as straight couples, but this Rick Warren argument is really pissing me off.  It\'s not that I think GLBT should STFU about it, it just as a moderate individual who has other worries beside gay marriage, I\'m getting really tired of hearing about how much of a mistake is was for Obama to chose Warren.  I understand the frustration, and to some the frustration is definitely justified, but I would really like to hear what else the Obama team is thinking about, not just having to defend the Rick Warren decision (which is what I hear most of Meet The Press was about this morning), or being asked about the Blago corruption case.  <br><br>And igI\'m getting tired of it (and I\'m a gay rights supporter), then I can just imagine what a non-supporter feels right about now, they are probably more pissed than I.  I think that this is a problem for the gay rights movement.  I mean,they have my support, but with all this calling Obama  a bigot, saying that gays have been "thrown under the bus" or comparing discrimination against gays to slavery, they are slowly but surely losing me.  I\'m not saying that I don\'t still believe in gay rights, I\'m just getting to the point that I am going to no longer talk about it at all, I\'m tired of the accusations, tired of the drama, I\'m just so over this.</div>\

True, there is no indication that U.S./Israeli relations will change. Obama\'s desire to "reboot" America\'s image around the world (particularly in the Muslim world) is note going to come to fruition if we continue our unquestioning support for Israel. I\'m certainly not saying that supporting that country is wrong, but it appears that other countries in the Middle East have a legitimate gripe that *all* of our support in the region goes to Israel (not technically true, but that is the appearance).</div>\

The conversation lasted about eight minutes, according to a transition aide who also said the president-elect will continue to closely monitor these events from his vacation home in Kailua, Hawaii.<br><br>"President-elect Obama is closely monitoring global events, including the situation in Gaza, but there is one president at a time,” said Obama spokeswoman Brooke Anderson.<br><br>SKIP<br><br>But Obama has signaled in the past that he backs retaliation against Hamas rocket fire, noted AIPAC spokesman Josh Block. Obama said during a visit to Israel last summer that he didn\'t "think any country would find it acceptable to have missiles raining down on the heads of their citizens.<br><br>"If somebody was sending rockets into my house where my two daughters sleep at night, I\'m going to do everything in my power to stop that. And I would expect Israelis to do the same thing."<br><br>Within Obama’s transition, Democrats say there’s a subtle division between between advisers who hold out hope for a direclty negotiated peace, culminating with a signing ceremony on the South Lawn, and those who have argued for a more oblique approach aimed at a negotiated peace between Israel and Syria, and weakening Syria’s ties with Iran. The latter group of advisers — which include former Clinton aides Dennis Ross and Martin Indyk — see weakening the role of Iran, which is closely tied to Hezbollah, as central to establishing an Israeli-Palestinian peace.</i><br><br>     c)  <a href="http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1208/16880.html" rel="nofollow">Shave ice, Mele Kalikimaka, hang loose</a><br><br><i><b>The cataloging of President-elect Barack Obama\'s every Hawaiian vacation move highlights a slice of American culture those on the mainland don\'t really know much about.</b><br><br>The latest came Saturday morning as Obama left the gym and was met by roughly 30 fans in the parking lot.<br><br><b>His Chicago White Sox hat was turned backwards, the president-elect flashed them the Hawaiian hand gesture formally known as the "shaka," but more commonly called the "hang loose" sign. (Three fingers tucked in, pinky and thumb out).</b><br><br>Others so far include:<br><br><b><u>Shave ice:</u> It\'s similar to a snow cone, but the ice is more finely shaved and is served over scoop of vanilla ice cream. Obama, his daughters and some friends ordered a range of flavors on Friday - from pina colada to banana.</b><br><br><b><u>Spam Musubi:</u> This classic Hawaiian lunch fare is a bed of rice topped with a slice of Spam and held together with a piece of dried seaweed.

Speaking on CBS News\' Face the Nation, Obama senior White House advisor David Axelrod told guest host Chip Reid that Obama\'s conversations with Secretary of State Rice are "largely in the area of fact-finding for him. I would hardly describe him as passive."<br><br>Axelrod said that the president-elect "recognizes the special relationship between the United States and Israel" and that he wants to help bring about peace.<br><br>"Obviously, this situation has become even more complicated in the last couple of days and weeks, as Hamas began shelling, Israel responded. But it\'s something that he\'s committed to," Axelrod said.<br><br>Alexrod explained that regarding the Middle East the President-elect "wants to get a handle on the situation, so that, when he becomes president on January 20th, he has the advantage of all the facts and information leading up to that point.”<br><br><b>Yesterday Obama discussed the Mideast situation today with Secretary of State Rice. “They discussed the situations in Gaza and in South Asia.

Amy Klobuchar weighed in with a significant proposal this weekend: seat the unofficial winner until all legal challenges are finalized.<br><br>"If the Canvassing Board declares a winner, that should be our senator," said the Minnesota Democrat. Even if a court challenge were to follow, she added, "[The Senate] could seat a senator pending the litigation."<br><br><b>Should Klobuchar\'s vision bear out, it would likely result in Al Franken taking over the Senate seat on a temporary basis. Democrats would get a 59th caucus member and a potentially important vote on key legislative matters.</b><br><br><b>The Minnesota canvassing board is set to certify the vote total from the election sometime in early January (a date is not yet official). As it stands know, Franken should emerge ahead in the count by a scant 47 votes. Sen. Norm Coleman would then have seven days to challenge the board\'s conclusion, a course of action his campaign has said it will almost certainly pursue.</b><br><br>The legal gridlock that would ensue could mean that there is no official Senate winner for weeks, if not much longer. Thirty-four years ago in New Hampshire, a similar situation took place, and the state was short a representative in the Senate for ten months.<br><br>At this point, there seems to be little political will from the Governor\'s office to resolve the problem. Republican Tim Pawlenty\'s office has said he only has the authority to appoint a replacement in the case of a permanent vacancy. So Klobuchar\'s statement, reported by the Minneapolis Star Tribune, carries particular weight.<br><br>There is, moreover, historical precedent for seating Franken on a temporary basis. In 1996, Mary Landrieu won the Louisiana Senate seat in a hotly contested race. But her opponent, State Representative Woody Jenkins, alleged that massive election fraud had contributed to his defeat. The Republican-controlled U.S. Senate agreed to look into the charges but allowed Landrieu to serve in the interim, pending investigation. The Rules Committee ultimately discovered that Jenkins had coached and paid witnesses to testify, thus discrediting his complaints of corruption and securing Landrieu\'s place in the Senate.</i><br><br>JANUARY is going to B a "loaded" MONTH!   :&gt;)</div>\
