EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. – A veteran of the nation’s most famous recount has been quietly advising Sen. Norm Coleman (R-Minn.), who is fighting a fierce battle to hang on to his seat.

Florida recount guru Benjamin Ginsberg, who played a prominent role on then Texas Gov. George W. Bush’s legal team during the historic 2000 presidential campaign, has been helping Coleman’s recount operation, the Republican senator’s campaign confirmed Monday.

Coleman spokesman Mark Drake said Ginsberg is serving as an advisor to the recount team, which is headed up by Fritz Knaak and Tony Trimble. When asked whether Ginsberg is new to the effort, Drake said he “has been” advising the incumbent.

Ginsberg, a partner at the Patton Boggs firm in Washington, is a former national counsel to the Bush-Cheney campaigns in 2000 and 2004 and also has served as counsel to the GOP’s three major national campaign committees.

1. So They Send In "The Fixer"...

That was one delight of the past election season, I didn't have to endure this douchebag messing up my teevee.

Guess things are going so good for Normie...every trick he's tried to stop counts and declare victory have failed...and his lawyers are probably too busy dealing with his forthcoming criminal mess...so bring in the guy who fixed Florida...things must be getting desparate.

Keep an eye on this weasel...hopefully the folks in Minnesota know about him and keep his games to a minimum.

Sure looks like Al is gonna be delivering those speeches on the Senate Floor I long joked about...

2. Isn't it amazing that Minnesota is doing what should have been

done during the 2000 election? Instead of stopping the recount, they are actually counting the votes! I wonder if Ginsberg will try to pull any funny business with this recount since he "has been advising" Coleman. We know he has experience in that department since he is a veteran of the nation's most famous recount. (What recount??? The Supremes stepped in and selected W.)
