Ten minutes ago the Star-Tribune updated their estimate of the state of the Coleman-Franken re-count from 115 to 167.

The incumbent Coleman entered the recount with a 215-vote edge over
Franken, a comedian and author. That lead had dropped in the first
three days of the recount, but Coleman rebounded some in the latest
results and is 167 votes in front when comparing totals in precincts
where the new count is complete. But the figure doesn't include ballot
challenges, which have caused vote tallies for both candidates to drop.
According to state numbers, there have been 1,893 challenges between the campaigns, although some could be withdrawn before the Canvassing Board's Dec. 16 meeting. The two are running about even in challenges.
The count goes on.
And on...
