“I am deeply disappointed in the decision made by the state Supreme Court, and I share the frustration of Minnesota’s voters. At the core of our democracy lies two concrete principles: No valid vote should go uncounted and all votes should be treated equally. Sadly, those principles were not adhered to during this election. While I would have proudly stood behind Norm Coleman had he chosen to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, I know that his decision to withdraw from this race was not an easy one, but one that he felt was the best decision for the people of Minnesota. For the last six years, Norm represented the people of Minnesota with distinction, earning a much deserved reputation as one of the hardest-working members of Congress. I, on behalf of all Republicans, thank him for his service and will miss his leadership in Washington.”
During a statewide hand recount process, the numbers fluctuated up and down, and ultimately, a three judge panel announced that Mr. Franken had won by 312 votes.
Banana republics everywhere rejoice...
If all votes count; than why did this happen?
Where was the money coming from, the RNC? If that’s so then Steele is a traitor to his country, not just his party.
And some say that ACORN is just a bunch of Marxists collecting Federal checks.

I never DREAMED they would let this go...I am sick of this stupid SOB ruining any chance we have of regaining any power...we better do it ourselves...this idiot might just be the best friend a Dim ever had...
Precisely - this needed to go all the way to SCOTUS so that the Gore v Bush precedent could be rolled out one more time. Oh, I forgot. It’s only the Dems that don’t roll over and quit. Steele - your name is sure not you.
steele, you’re a laughing stock
Name of Steele, testes of jello.

I duntno, even jello can develop at least a thin skin...
Perhaps Steele will write a strongly worded letter.

Who will he ask for the help with the strong words...
Mr. Steele I am very disappointed in you. Go join the rest of your losers and leave us alone.
ACORN is performing the same duties for Zero and the dim party as the nazi brownshirts did for der fuhrer back in the 1930’s.
Welcome to the third reich v2.0, folks.
I’m deeply disappointed in the Republican Party.
Conservatives are deeply disappointed with !
ACORN is the reason this election was stolen from Coleman. Who knows how much money Sors gave the judges??
OK, so what are you going to do about it, Steele?
