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."

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.
.
And Crazy Shelly Bachmann’s out next election. Puhlease have Cornyn fight Franken being seated in the senate.
In my opinion this election was stolen through the auspices of the dims and ACORN. Just my opinion.
The good thing is that since the left are anti-gun, we should have no problem fighting them.
Not to be macabre, but what happens if Kennedy dies?
An angel gets its wings.
Never EVER think your vote doesn’t count. This one could have been won with a higher turnout.
Minnesota - congrats on your new asshole senator.
That’s it! Someone has to start a purely political Comedy show. Maybe then the reality of what is happening will sink in. It must be shown on regular tv, no cable, that way those who voted these idiots in will be able to watch.

I hope so!!!
Depends on which way the U.S. military goes & who they support!!! I hope the majority of the military recognizes that they are there to defend the U.S. Constitution from all enemies, both foreign & domestic (0boooooomba, the demoRAT socialist party), and they are not to be the private militia of the socialist-fascist-commie pig 0boooooooomba usurper-in-chief.
No he did not. By conceding the election he is telling us nothing is worth fighting for, not even a Senate seat.
