One last look at The Line: Coleman slightly favored

Sen. Norm Coleman holds a slight edge in Minnesota’s bitterly contested U.S. Senate race, according to the Washington Post’s Chris Cillizza. In his final assessment of which Senate seats are most likely to flip parties, Coleman’s post comes in eighth, one notch down from the previous ranking. Here’s Cillizza’s take on the race four days out from voting:

8. Minnesota (R): As we wrote last week, Sen. Norm Coleman (R) is a political survivor. And, if you believe the latest poll out of Minnesota, which showed Coleman at 42 percent to 36 percent for comedian Al Franken (D) and 12 percent for independent Dean Barkley, then Coleman may find a way to live to fight another cycle. At issue is how much of the vote Barkley ultimately takes and who he takes it from. Both parties agree this will be among the closest — if not the closest — race next Tuesday. (Previous ranking: 7)

Will the lawsuit currently embroiling the incumbent alter this dynamic in the final 96 hours?
