Minn. rules for Franken in Senate fight

By BRIAN BAKST, Associated Press Writer Brian Bakst, Associated Press Writer 25 mins ago

ST. PAUL, Minn. – The Minnesota Supreme Court has ordered that Democrat Al Franken be certified as the winner of the state's long-running Senate race.

The high court rejected a legal challenge from Republican Norm Coleman, whose options for regaining the Senate seat are dwindling.

Justices said Franken is entitled to the election certificate he needs to assume office. With Franken and the usual backing of two independents, Democrats will have a big enough majority to overcome Republican filibuster.

Coleman hasn't ruled out seeking federal court intervention.

He lost when he voted for TARP.

Is the Lt. Gov. named Stein?
...Frankenstein.
:rolleyes:

[Matt Collins]

All the more reason to ensure Rand becomes a Senator.

Coleman conceded. It's over. These sour grapes close elections are a royal pain.

Close election what? Americans and Minnesotans lost no matter what the outcome was.

Correct.

Coleman should have kept fighting just to keep the seat open and to bankrupt the state party. Nothing good can come from either one of those jackasses being able to vote in the Senate, and every time the state party spends money, they end up putting their feet in their mouths.
