No, you're not having a flashback to election day. In Minnesota, however, it never ended.

The race for Minnesota's U.S. Senate seat continues, as SNL comedian and Democrat Al Franken and incumbent rival Norm Coleman continue to slug it out.

At the moment, Franken is ahead by 48 votes. However, he isn't making plans for the January swearing-in.
