Franken declares Senate race win after state ruling
http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/01/05/minnesota.recount/index.html

MINNEAPOLIS, Minnesota (CNN) -- Democrat Al Franken declared victory in the hotly contested Minnesota Senate race Monday saying the win is "incredibly humbling."

A Minnesota board says Al Franken won his U.S. Senate race against Norm Coleman by 225 votes.

The Minnesota State Canvassing Board on Monday certified the results of the recount of Republican Sen. Norm Coleman's fight to retain his seat against Franken. The results showed Franken with a 225-vote lead.

"I am proud to stand before you as the next senator from Minnesota," Franken told reporters Monday night. "It's clear that we have a lot of important work to do ... I'm ready to go to Washington and get to work as soon as possible."



and we are proud to finally call him Senator
