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."

Donkeys in brown shirts. Oh, joy! I feel a tingling sensation up my leg.

Maybe we can get Bernie Sanders to switch....................

[devane617]

The balance of power is no more. I am interested to see what Sen. Byrd has to say now...

[clintonh8r]

One step closer to Civil War II....

[Eleutheria5]

Watch them cry ‘foul!’ if he does.

[Red Badger]

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.

[Eleutheria5]

At least I’ll get to sell movie rights to my book.

[IbJensen]

Oh, finally some good news for America!

A fatso, non-comedian has now become the senator from Minnesota!

[tioga]

God bless Norm Coleman.....he gave it his all.

[Puppage]

It’s that simple.

And that horrific

[Bringbackthedraft]

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.

[Eleutheria5]

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.

[St. Louis Conservative]

So 300 votes in Minnesota and 1,000 votes in Alaska are the difference regarding totalitarianism in this country?

[Manic_Episode]

I finally hooked my digital converter box up to the TV and Coleman conceding was the first thing I saw.

[NoGrayZone]

Crap on a stick!

[DakotaRed]

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.

[Deo volente]

With the filibuster now rendered impotent, it’s full speed ahead for the Socialism Express!
