Mr. Granneman,
Thanks for airing your views. I wonder if you could give a little more detail to your following claims:

1."...senator frank and acorn are largely responsible for our current economic situation..." I was under the impression that very large banks and insurance companies were leveraging trillions of dollars using exotic collateralized debt obligations; specifically credit default swaps, at ratios that routinely exceeded 30 to 1, and in the case of Bear Stearns may...

As you said, the standard for equal protection is much higher for "rights" than for "privileges". If the court accepts Coleman's equal protection argument for absentee ballots based on such weak tea, the logical extension of that reasoning would preclude a "legal" election from ever being held in Minnesota.

Thousands of polling places, thousands of election workers and thousands of different voter circumstances would--quite literally--make compliance with such a standard impossible....

Wasn't it just last week that Bachmann was making a floor speech in the House, demanding Napolitano's resignation over some manufacured outrage or another? I imagine that Napolitano and the DHS will do everything they can for Bachmann's constituents--in spite of her.

I would not want to be a state legislator trying to solve this problem. It is interesting that instead of trying to contribute to the solution, the GOP is doing nothing.

Any bets on how noisy they become after this is finally hammered out? This is going to be unpleasant **no matter what**. Be sure to remember that when the Republicans start criticizing the inevitably ugly solution that they refused to contribute anything to.
