Franken Wins Court Case but will Norm give up? After an exhaustive recount and then court challenge, it appears that Al Franken has all but won the Minnesota Senate Seat. But not so fast, Norm Coleman appears headed to the Minnesota Supreme court and then to the US Supreme court. And while these maneuvers may not win him back his senate seat, they may serve to deprive Minnesotans of full representation in the Senate.
Minnesota Democrats are calling for action, and its likely that that call will get louder as they gather this weekend for the annual Humphrey Day dinner. While we have great representation from our able Senator Amy Klobochur, she can't do it all, one face book comment states.
The obstructionist approach taken by Coleman is seen as part and parcel of the national Republican party's approach to its minority status in Washington. Will this be the label Republicans want to carry?
The irony is that Coleman called on Franken to concede based on incomplete returns when he thought he had the upper hand. This ability to do a complete about face is one of Norm Colemans
least endearing characteristics that tends to drive his Democratic opponents up the wall.
The one time Democratic Mayor of St. Paul is seen as a turncoat by many in Minnesota.
