franken colemanCould the U.S. Senate contest finally be over tomorrow? Politics in Minnesota’s Dan Feidt, citing information from two sources on both sides of the legal tussle, suggests that Thursday is the day the Minnesota Supreme Court will rule on Norm Coleman’s appeal. The ruling is expected to be released between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.

Of course, if Coleman loses, as most legal observers predict, he might turn around and appeal to the federal courts for redress. But even if that happens, it seems highly likely that Al Franken would receive the election certificate needed to allow him to be seated in Washington.
