		<description>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 &amp; 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</description>

		<description>Mr. Coleman is doing precisely what his RNC handlers are telling him to do: Stall and delay. The longer the Dems are without the additional senator, the easier it is for the Repubs to block and interfere with Dem&#039;s efforts.

Mr. Coleman no doubt expects to receive benefit from doing his masters&#039; bidding. I suspect he hopes for an impressive position in the RNC for his &#039;loyalty&#039;. This is similar to his dropping out of the Governor&#039;s Race when he was told to by Cheney&#039;s people. He received a heck of a lot of support from the RNC for his Senatorial run.

Sadly, Mr. Coleman is causing increasing harm by his actions; not only to Minnesota, but to the USA by his actions. IMHO, his &#039;political capital&#039; is passing zero and rapidly moving into the &#039;political liability&#039; region.</description>

		<description>Mr. Hatch has worked with fellow Republicans who have manipuated and distorted law for foul partisan purposes, he has lost his moral compass and bearings.   

A columnist recently speculated that Mr. Coleman will run out the string on legal appeals in order to land an insider lobbyist job that pays enough for him to catch up on his considerable personal debt.
It is just cynical enough to be true about some Republicans lately.  If Mr. Coleman thinks it is a good idea to leave Minnesota without a Senator as long as necessary so he can get better pay in his next gig, he better be leaving the state for good.  Screwing fellow citizens that way for personal gain won&#039;t be applauded or appreciated by any decent neighbor he has here</description>

		<description>One rule for Republicans and one for Dems....  

Republicans...have the Supreme Court decide regardless of the popular vote totals
Republicans...go thru the voter lists and see how many can be eliminated.

Democrats...fight for voter registration in all economic classes
Democrats...Concede when it appears that the process will become too destructive.

As to the Senate Republicans advising their loser candidate, If I were a Missourian citizen I would resent the idea that some outside politician is going to weigh in on my election.  I&#039;m sure that if the Democrat senators got involved in their election they would cry foul.

Mr. Coleman lost the election.  If he does not bow out now, he will lose the public opinion poll too.
There is a point where the only smart answer is gracious retreat.</description>

		<description>Dear Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.)

obfuscate, denigrate and complicate.
That&#039;s republican values.
PS The same republikan party that brought us 1 trillion dollar deficits not counting the Irag war which you and your enables allowed to be &quot;off budget&quot;.
Gimme a break.</description>

		<description>I am ammazed at Hatch&#039;s assertions about our election process.  How do they do it in Utah? I doubt that their system is much different.  As to the assertion that Democrats have run this process, that is hilarious to us Minnesotan&#039;s who really know the facts.  Any objective look at how this recount process has been done, shows the transparency, and bi-partisan participation at every stage.  If the court rules in Franken&#039;s favor on this re-count, Coleman should concede, and allow him, Franken, and, the state of Minnesota to move on.</description>

		<description>An open letter to Norm Coleman: Concede.



Dear Mr. Coleman,

In a short time, the three-judge panel will make some announcements. They will find that the Minnesota Senate election was sound, and that Al Franken won it.

It&#039;s time to throw in the towel. You lost the election in Minnesota to Al Franken. You should concede, and cease further legal challenge...
