It is February 25 - 114 days since the election. ENOUGH already, Norm, Congratulate Senator Franken!
Enough of this ridiculousness from former Senator Norm Coleman, let's turn up the heat, DU!

Senator Franken missed the first speech to Congress by President Obama because of Norm's infantile, pedantic "I'm not a loser because of this and this" ramblings, and, Minnesota and the nation is without a senator who would be helpful in bringing needed change!

----------------- "Coleman suing Al Franken, FOREVER" - http://gawker.com/5160330/norm-coleman-still-suing-al-franken-forever

Also from the news -

Ballots that Norm Coleman wants to count took a beating in testimony on Tuesday, while ballots he thinks are illegal were protected by the judges hearing the U.S. Senate trial.

In the latest in a series of setbacks for Coleman, the three-judge panel refused to preserve identifying marks on counted absentee ballots that he claims have been rendered illegal by recent rulings of the court.

The decision hampers the ability of Coleman, a Republican, to challenge ballots tallied in the final phase of the recount, when DFL Al Franken took a 225-vote lead.

In rebuffing Coleman, the panel noted that he and Franken had agreed three weeks ago to allow the secretary of state to redact information identifying 933 absentee ballots approved by the state Canvassing Board on Jan. 5. Both campaigns had accepted those ballots, but Coleman last week said about 100 are invalid under the panel's recent rulings.

So, Normie, the plastic surgery didn't help secure the Senate seat... aw... too BAD!

1. The court is getting fed up with Coleman -- he's not doing himself any favors. He's not going to win
and he knows it. With the Senate holding off on EFCA until Franken is seated, Coleman is going to draw this out as long as he can. Which is fine, because it's political suicide for him. His name will be mud in this state.

3. I was just watching the Senate floor on CSpan,
they called for a vote. They were calling Senators names for aye or nay vote, and they called Senator Coleman! Whats up with that? He's no longer a Senator, why would his name be on the list?

Peace!
