Coleman cites ‘one of the second largest papers’ in state to push runoff

Former Sen. Norm Coleman in an interview with SIRIUS XM Radio’s Andrew Wilkow raised the specter of chucking the results of the Nov. 4 election to hold a runoff election to decide whether he or Al Franken will be Minnesota’s second senator. But in doing so, he seemed to be confused about the local mediascape:

You know the St Paul Pioneer Press is…one of the second largest papers in the state, last week [they] said we’re never going to figure this out, just run it again.

Perhaps the Duluth News-Tribune is in a dead tie with the PiPress for second-largest status? Or does Norm know something we don’t about the future over at the Star Tribune?

Here’s the PiPress’ Feb. 21 op-ed Coleman’s referring to.
