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. Coleman, appearing relaxed and upbeat, said he had congratulated Franken, was at peace with the decision and had no regrets about the fight, which started almost immediately after the Nov. 4 election. "Sure I wanted to win," said Coleman, who called the ruling a surprise. "I thought we had a better case. But the court has spoken."

Maybe we can get Bernie Sanders to switch....................
The balance of power is no more. I am interested to see what Sen. Byrd has to say now...
One step closer to Civil War II....
Watch them cry ‘foul!’ if he does.
I told my wife that a few weeks back............
The grim reality is that at this point we are absolutely powerless to stop the socialization of our nation.
We have the country our sheeple voted for. It’s that simple.
At least I’ll get to sell movie rights to my book.
A fatso, non-comedian has now become the senator from Minnesota!
God bless Norm Coleman.....he gave it his all.
And that horrific
Totalitarianism, here we come! ............. No! 2010 Here We Come.
Bernie Saunder’s won’t ever become a Conservative, forget it. Coleman, Saunders, Schumer and Ginsburg all come from the same neighborhood in Brooklyn and all went to the same High School. What amazes me is that Coleman was a Republican!
When can we start our own country? I absolutely love America, but I really think she’s going to be gutted down to her shell and thrown in a heap of trash. All I want to do right now is throw up. The DUmmies have stolen our nation.
Wow. It is official the dems really are a comedy skit.
In the case of Minnesota, a lot of those “sheeple” were long ago made into mutton chops. I guess he really is The Messiah. He raises the dead.
So 300 votes in Minnesota and 1,000 votes in Alaska are the difference regarding totalitarianism in this country?
Crap on a stick!
Ahmadinejad and now Franken and all B HO worries about it putting a Marxist back in power in Honduras.
For all those in Minnesota and elsewhere who decided it was time to “teach the GOP a lesson,” well, you know.
With the filibuster now rendered impotent, it’s full speed ahead for the Socialism Express!
Concession was the wrong way to go. Hello Frakenfraud. You and yours stole taxpayer money from a childrens’ charity to keep Air America afloat and now you stole an election.
Tomorrow our national anthem will be replaced with the Internationale.

In 2010, we’ll have a new census, taken by statistical estimates compiled by ACORN activists. They’ll find those previously uncounted citizens on election night, even if they have to dig them up from their graves. Guess which party they’ll vote for?
Faith in the electoral process. How quaint.
In case you haven't noticed, they steal with impunity. And ow they have absolute power and a vote fraud machine freshly infused with 8 billion of our dollars (for starters). You're more likely to see an honest election in Iran than you will here ever again, in any our of lifetimes.
They entered the city in 1993.
In 2009 they will implement their counterrevolution to our Founder's revolution of 1776.
God help us.
“When can we start our own country?”
ALASKA, anyone? As a free nation, we could be FREE from Obumma, drill like crazy, sustain ourselves, and not let the USSA have one drop of our oil! Obumma and his socialist thugs can all go to hell!
How’s President Sarah Palin of the Free Republic of Alaska sound?
Sen Byrd and Sen Kennedy are both very ill but we need to pray they last a long time so two seats are vacant in the Senate.
It’s happened before. It doesn’t matter how much support they got in order to obtain power. Once they’re in, they systematically and quietly remove all checks and balances, so The Fuhrer (you-know-who was originally Chancellor in a coalition government only) can accomplish his great “change”. I’m glad I’m in Israel right now.
Come to Texas. We are still balanced, and conservative. You will love Texas as much as we do.
Texas has a right to secede secured by treaty, which was a condition for its entry into the Union.
WOW! Just in time for FRANKENFAG to join in on the Senate CRAP and TAX vote?
Can you say “Perfect Storm”?
It is going to be a very, very, very turbulent next few years.
No worries. We’ll do like the Honduras when the time comes. Remember the military part about protecting the Constitution (not the Obamaloon) from all enemies... foreign and progressive.... er domestic?
Tell the Democrats to explain this:
Excerpt from Dr. Polarik’s article (full article below):
“......from the first time I saw the Daily Kos image, or what I now call, “Obama’s bogus birth certificate,” that something was just not right about it. As someone who has scanned hundreds of thousands of documents in his lifetime, I had a hard time accepting that this was an original scan image made from an original paper document. As Fate would have it, right then, on June 13, I was looking at the conclusive evidence that the text on this image had been graphically altered, or “manufactured,” as my first blog post would claim.”

The American people are attending a wake for the demise of their country.
So when will it happen?
Alaska looks better, Demographics are against Conservatives in Texas. Very soon Texas will go permanently blue.
Anchorage Alaska is full of socialist but the rest of the state is still mostly sane
>Remember the military part about protecting the Constitution (not the Obamaloon) from all enemies... foreign and progressive.... er domestic?<
.
But what happens when the CIC of our Armed Forces is a foreigner?
If the Republicans can make a case for Conservatism between now and the mid-term elections, for the Democrats, what will happen to them in 2010 will make 1994 look like a walk-in-the-park.
ACORN steals another one. :)
Slowly but surely. One day we will wake up and wonder when things were ever any different.
Give him hell !!!
2010 efforts for now IMO nationwide
Support for secession was 32% in April, it’s 42% as of a couple weeks ago.
If Cap And Tax passes, Texas will leave because C&T will kill the majority of Texas jobs.
A victory for Soros and Acorn.
Welcome to the abyss.
Sooner or later something has to break. The unproductive class and the elites can only bleed and oppress the average folks so much. It’ll get to the point that something will spark and then all hell will break loose.
I think Pat Buchanan said that at the 1992 convention.
I hope so. It's the only that will save us now!!! Split the country in two. Give the libtards & perverts one half, and conservatives the other half. I have a feeling that even the libtards wouldn't want to live in their own socialist utopia.
