My condolences to the Coleman fans.

And actually, I'm no fan of Al Franken. Also, though I'm not a fan of the filibuster either (just seems like a childish tactic), the idea of a lopsided, "filibuster-proof" Senate doesn't sit well with me, either, regardless of the direction it's leaning.

Well, it can only be a blessing that Kennedy and Byrd are too ill to vote. :thumbsup

I don't like Al Franken at all, and it should be over ... but this isn't over. Coleman's team is already talking about appealing to the US Supreme Court.

Where did you hear it from, Fox News? Fact and TRUTH do not seem to matter. IT took all of 3 min. to find out that the Minnesota SC is mostly REPUBLICAN.

I guess with all the goofiness in government these days, they think and change is an improvement.

Coleman conceded and says it's over. Is his team going renegade?
