I don't much care for either, and it is their decision. Though Coleman is hurting his reputation.

As long as he doesn't get addicted to too many 12-step programs, he should do just fine. Keep a box of oreos around just in case he hits bottom though.

So I amend my statement from “GOP + Losing a close election = Sore losers.”

TO:

“GOP + Losing a close election = Super duper sore losers.”

So the Dems can be the plain ol' sore losers and the Republicans can be super duper sore losers. :)

Thanks for having me clarify that. ;)

It's imperative that the US Senate seat Franken at this point. If the MN Supreme Court or the Federal courts overturn then Franken can be unseated later. But, at this point, Coleman has clearly had his case heard in the primary court, lost votes in the process, and has no real argument against seating Franken at least temporarily. What are the Republicans going to do? Oppose everything the Democrats pass? LOL. Coleman can appeal all he wants. It's imperative that the US Senate seat Franken at this point.
