No, Franken did not win. You may like to think that, but we have an ap[peals process here. Had the tables been turned, you bet every liberal in this state would be screaming for Franken to go right to the Supreme Court.

Coleman has the right to appeal – but that doesn’t mean it’s the right thing to do, and if Franken were in his position I would not support the suit. There’s no actual evidence of vote counting irregularity that would justify overturning the results of this election. It’s a frivolous lawsuit, plain and simple.

Franken won, let’s be done.

Coleman’s side is certainly within their rights to appeal this decision, but I think the DFL’s purpose is to make the Coleman team think twice about taking it to the Federal level. I think it would be highly unlikely the MN SC will rule against the three judge panel and the canvassing board. Everyone’s worried that Coleman will try to stop the certification with a Federal lawsuit and hang this up as long as possible, which is the Republican strategy, even when they know it’s a losing effort.

Here’s a comment – I disagree with the DFL airing these sentiments at this time. Coleman’s side is still within their rights to appeal this decision at the state level, and if roles were reversed, I would support a DFL appeal.

If roles were reversed, I’m sure the volume of howls from the Republicans would be 100 times larger than these gentle prods. But that doesn’t justify this campaign. Yet.

Once Coleman loses in the MN SC, *then* would be the time for this ad.
