387

By GottaLaff

Yes, today is Mysterious Numbers Blog Title Day:

The pile of unopened absentee ballots that could be added to Minnesota U.S. Senate totals for Al Franken and Norm Coleman is now down to 387, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Last week, a panel of judges identified 400 ballots for possible counting -- but it's now been determined that "13 of the ballots on the judges' list had already been counted -- on Election Day or during a statewide recount."

Franken leads by 225 votes with these final ballots left to count.

But none of that matters. It's much more important to drag this out for the next eight years. I hope that will never become the title of a blog post: 8. That would be a very, very bad thing.
