Franken in the lead

Nate Silver over at fivethirtyeight.com is reporting that Al Franken leads with a 225 vote lead over Norm Coleman. Yeehaw!

UPDATE: Chris Cillizza at the Washington Post reports that the Minnesota Supreme Court has rejected the Coleman campaign's request to include 654 rejected absentee ballots, making Franken's lead that much more insurmountable. The state Canvassing Board is now expected to declare Franken the winner.
