Franken has picked up a few more votes so far today...

[MinneapolisMatt]

According to the Minneapolis Star Tribune, Coleman started the morning w/ a 282 vote lead.

Now it's 270, and we have the rest of the day (and until Friday) to finish up the counting.

Every bit helps.

1. Daily updates

This is, indeed, a game of inches and hours. Stout hearts, me hearties.

2. Yikes - we were within 100 votes last time I looked.

3. There are thousands of contested ballots.

This will go to court and likely the Senate itself.

6. Highly unlikely it'll hit the Senate

Mark Ritchie, the MN SOS, is a good and honorable public servant, who sits on the Canvassing Board, which will have the final say on the eligibility of the disputed ballots.

5. I think we'll know by Christmas.

Hopefully earlier, but that's kind of my mental time-line I'm using.
