Minn. rules for Franken in Senate fight

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) - The Minnesota Supreme Court has ordered that Democrat Al Franken be certified as the winner of the state's long-running Senate race.

The high court rejected a legal challenge from Republican Norm Coleman, whose options for regaining the Senate seat are dwindling.

Justices said Franken is entitled to the election certificate he needs to assume office. With Franken and the usual backing of two independents, Democrats will have a big enough majority to overcome Republican filibuster.

*Edit: The 'good' news, to use that term for this bad situation, is that the Democrats socialists will now completely own the train wrecks that they are creating.

Damn how far we have fallen.  A jackass, not very funny comedian is now in the Senate making decisions that will affect everyone of us.  What did we do to deserve this?

Get ready, Cap and Trade, Healthcare, any socialist give away program, and taxes will be crammed down our throats at will now.

ST. PAUL, Minn. - Republican Norm Coleman conceded to Democrat Al Franken in Minnesota's contested Senate race on Tuesday, ending a nearly eight-month recount and court fight over an election decided by only a few hundred votes.

Coleman announced his decision at a news conference in St. Paul hours after a unanimous Minnesota Supreme Court ruled that Franken, a former "Saturday Night Live" comedian and liberal commentator, should be certified the winner.

"The Supreme Court has made its decision and I will abide by the results," Coleman told reporters outside his St. Paul home.

I think the folk in California are rejoicing that Minnesota elected this buffoon to the Senate; kind of makes the Senators from California look less like the flakes and nuts that they are...
