Politicos and media-types are crowd sourcing the continuous change in the unofficial count between Al Franken and incumbent Senator Norm Coleman.
By coalescing around the tag #mnrecount on Twitter, a dynamic conversation and exchange is developing.
You can see the national reaction with simple searches of franken and coleman as well.
Also, on E-Democracy.Org’s MN-Politics forum (an e-list/web forum dating back to 1994) you can see some old skool exchange as well. Oh, and here are posts across the blogosphere.
Here are just the last 18 minutes on the Twitter channel:

JasonBarnett: @wabbitoid Very good point #mnrecount. The actual “recount” won’t start for days, even a week or two. Changes now are normal flux
