Well, it was close...but we won. Al Franken, July 1, 2009 On November 5, 2008, the day after Election Day, US Senate candidate Al Franken spoke to the Minnesota press: We won't know for a little while who won the race. 
 Many professionals predicted the Minnesota election for Senate between Al Franken and incumbent Norm Coleman would be the closest race of the 2008 cycle. But no one could predict it would take 245 days before the victor would be seated in the US Senate.
 No one obsessed more about the election aftermath during those 245 days than a blogger at DailyKos who signed himself WineRev. At DailyKos, Markos Moulitsas ground-zero website for political progressives, WineRev s near-daily updates became must reading. Whether it was recounters in tears in Austin, county judges talking out loud to paper ballots, or the briefcase brigade arguing law or examining witnesses, WineRev's reports became a regular fixture on the Recommended Diaries list. 
 For all who want to relive the tense days of recounting, the court dates, the insights, wit and everyone's mistakes, Recounting Minnesota pulls together WineRev s diaries, along with trenchant, droll, or exasperated comments from readers, a timeline for every twist, and a foreword by Markos Moulitsas himself, all served up with a lively, Internet-flavored urgency.

Growing Up & Facts of Life

Halfway between the Emancipation proclaimed by Lincoln in 1863 and the dream of Free at Last proclaimed at Lincoln's Memorial in 1963, America held its breath. What if America s history had taken a different turn in 1913, and white men had put aside their racial hatred while black men had washed away their pain? 
 Encampment: A Novel of Race and Reconciliation examines a road not taken during the July 1913 reunion of 54,000 veterans at Gettysburg a now-forgotten, week-long reunion that ended in a gesture of reconciliation between North and South. Domestic and foreign reporters kept telegraph wires humming while 100,000 civilians came each day to see for themselves: could Blue and Gray bind up the nation's wounds and make peace? They could, and they did...for those who were white.
 But what if there had been a deeper healing? What might have happened if 5,000 black veterans had dared to attend? What if not just blue and gray but also black and white had battled through their hatred and regrets, laid down their hurts and found a way to heal history?
 Encampment follows three of these men in their autumn years. Savannah sergeant Zachariah Hampton still marches often, drinks hard, and believes blacks should stay in a place called Jim Crow. To Lucius Robinson, however, Jim Crow s place smells like the slavery he ran away from 50 years ago, and his heart and dignity are worn down to rags. Retired Vermont abolitionist Calvin Salisbury laments as the triumph of his youth is shredded by a national bigotry that leaves the sacrifices of his comrades in tatters. 
 These three men are among the thousands at Gettysburg who could have pieced together all Americans into a quilt of common heritage. The hopefulness of this novel evokes forgiveness, redemption, reconciliation, and a re-thinking of history that informs the present.
