Vice-President Joe Biden made that joke after praising DFL Sen. Amy Klobuchar during his visit to St. Cloud. Biden was referring to Minnesota's long-running open Senate. A three-judge panel is still reviewing Republican Norm Coleman's court challenge of the recount. Democrat Al Franken led Coleman by 225 votes after the recount.

The 1962 election was held on November 6th, and Karl Rolvaag didn't take office until March 25, 1963.

Last year's election was on November 4th. Mark down Monday the 23rd on your calendars. Looks like we're about to break the record.
