John Cornyn (R-TX) on Al Franken: "(Coleman) realizes how important retaining that seat is to us"

[Amerigo Vespucci]

The National Republican Senatorial Committee held a ritzy fundraiser for Coleman in Washington this week, helping him raise the money he needs to keep his legal challenges alive through a trial and then a lengthy legal process if he loses.

How long should Coleman hold out? “However long it takes,” says Texas Sen. John Cornyn, who chairs the NRSC.

“I encourage him to see it through the end,” Cornyn said Thursday. “He feels like he owes it to the voters of Minnesota and his colleagues here. He realizes how important retaining that seat is to us.”

The Democrats know how important the seat is — and they accuse the GOP of prolonging Coleman’s legal fight just to keep it empty.

2. somehow I seem to recall

that Al Gore was a "sore loser" for not just folding his cards and slinking away the day after they stole it. Now they want this douchebag to drag it out for fricking six years.

5. Is this the fundraiser Cornyn went to

...instead of voting on the Senate version of the stimulus bill the first time around?

Interesting if that is the case.
