Norm Coleman To Joe Miller: It's 'Time To Move On' (VIDEO)

Even Norm Coleman thinks it's time for Joe Miller to give up his Alaska Senate fight. "I think that race is over," Coleman said in an interview that will air this Sunday on C-SPAN's Newsmakers. "I think the counting's been done I'm not sure there's anything that would change that."

"It should be time to move on," he said. "There's not much that you can gain by extending the process."

Coleman said that he "understand Joe's frustration," citing his own drawn-out race for Minnesota Senate which he ultimately lost to Democrat Al Franken. In that race, Coleman filed a lawsuit with the state Supreme Court after a recount gave the race to Franken, who had initially trailed by a slim margin before the start of the recount. As Eric Kleefeld wrote in June 2009, eight months after election day, the courts rejected Coleman's claims that:

a) ballots were let in for Franken that shouldn't have been, b) ballots for Coleman that should have been allowed were not, and c) damaged absentee ballots that had been duplicated ended up being counted twice, favoring Franken.

Joe Miller has made comparable claims in his own suit...
