Franken slices further into Coleman's lead

Day two of the recount in Minnesota has concluded. I'll admit to being a little obsessed -- I really can't stand Norm Coleman. He's loathsome.

Based on my math, using the "official" Minnesota Secretary of State's numbers, Al Franken has picked up 86 votes since the recount started. That would drop Coleman's lead to 129 votes, with 42.33% of ballots recounted.

With mores counted (46%), the Minneapolis Star-Tribune has Coleman's lead down to 136 votes. Still a lot of votes to be counted including 58% in Hennepin County, which Franken originally won by 50% - 36% margin, and 70% in Ramsey County, home of St. Paul, which Franken won by 52% - 34% margin. Also, 64% of the vote remains to be counted in St. Louis County, which includes Duluth. Franken won that county 55% - 32%. (I got the county percentages from MSNBC's Minnesota page.)

Both campaigns have challenged over 400 ballots.
