To anyone who turned his or her back on the ballot booth: I told you so.

Because the biggest argument against voting that's met my ears is "my vote doesn't matter. It's just one vote."

Good luck getting that to fly anytime in the next few years if you live in Minnesota.

If the Coleman-Franken contest has told us anything, it's that every vote does matter. This morning Franken's unofficial lead was 49 votes. Forty-nine. That's less people than most have as friends on Facebook or MySpace, if they have an account.

Whenever I'm in my car I'm usually listening to Minnesota Public Radio. It's a nice change from KDWB, where I heard the same mindless songs over and over again (sure, I love the beat, but I felt like my brain was starting to ooze out my ears after a while).

Lately there's been a lot of talk on MPR about the state-wide Minnesota recount. The Al Franken and Norm Coleman race ended too close and triggered the mandatory recount. No biggie, except for the massive amount of man-hours it will take to put hands and eyes on every single ballot cast in the state.

I’m a little behind the times on this one, but did you hear that Hillary Clinton asked YouTube users to help pick her campaign song?
