There is the interesting point from billmon that the GOP may not want to see the equal protection ball moved forward in the courts. It helps them in the short term, but it could really hurt them in the long term. There are many equal protection issues that are currently helping the GOP and would be subject to challenge (e.g., 1/5 as many voting machines per capita in poor urban precincts as in rich suburban precincts – what’s equal about that?) Coleman may be real close to getting a countermand order from his corporate masters.

GOV PLENTY to People of Minnesota: Screw-YOU; I intend to LET FEDERAL courts DECIDE!

Never thought I’d LIVE to see the day when this Sovereign State’s Elected LEADER would BACK his OWN (corrupt) political party OVER THE PEOPLE OF this STATE who elected him. IF Minnesota’s own GOVERNOR PLENTY does NOT support our STATE’S JUDICIARY … WHY is HE still IN OFFICE? The People of the Sovereign state of Minnesota cast their ballots in a FAIR & HONEST election. Like ALL ELECTIONS, none is perfect; there are flaws –just as there are FLAWS in human beings. BUT for the past TWO HUNDRED-PLUS years, THOSE FLAWS have always been considered to BALANCE OUT each other. THAT IS, until recent elections SHOWED THE PEOPLE voting AGAINST the Republican Party.
NOW, the People get ROYALLY (republicanly) SCREWED by having their votes SET ASIDE and LITIGATED until hell FREEZES OVER! BY WHAT RIGHT do these party HACKS interfere with the elective process –AND cast aspersions on this state’s elected/appointed/hired officials who fairly DETERMINED our results? NOT one instance of fraud or deception has been found! NOT ONE.
THIS was a righteous election whose outcome SHOULD BE DETERMINED by Minnesotans -NOT GOP party hacks!
RECALL THE GOVERNOR if he refuses to honor the MINNESOTA COURTS’ decisions

Norm Coleman is prolonging the inevitable because he cares about only one person, Norm Coleman. He changed parties, not because of an honest change of conviction, but because it would be easier to win office as a Republican. He was and is a fraud. Yet the media generally gives him a pass rather than investigate his deceits, political and personal, over the years. Hopefully he will soon fade away into the obscurity he so richly deserves.

Durenberger is right this time. Coleman ran a filthy campaign. The Coleman campaign’s cleverly-edited video of Franken in which he was supposedly “out of control” (actually taken from a Wellstone memorial speech) is an example of Coleman’s willingness to do anything to get elected.

Durenberger joins the growing number of Republicans like former governor Arne Carlson who believe that it’s time for Coleman to walk away like a man.

When looking at the Coleman Franken recount, keep in mind the good it has rendered. The best being the fact that it has kept both of those self severing, know nothing, individuls out of the Senate for the past 100 some days.

The only way that Coleman won his first election, was because his opposition died. He couldn’t kill off Franken, so now he has to use the courts. Norm Coleman can’t win on his own. Just go away, Norm, so we Minnesotans can have two Senators.
