Coleman Concedes Defeat To Franken

Just now breaking, former Minnesota Senator Norm Coleman will concede defeat to challenger Al Franken following a unanimous state Supreme Court decision declaring Franken the winner. This ends a nearly eight-month court battle for the seat and brings the Democratic majority in the U.S. Senate to the "magic" sixty votes needed to move legislation without partisan encumberance--at least that's the theory. From the Star-Tribune:

Republican Norm Coleman ended a bruising eight-month court fight court today, conceding to Democrat Al Franken after the Minnesota Supreme Court said he was entitled to the office.
The Minnesota Supreme Court ruled today that Democrat Al Franken won the U.S. Senate election and said he is entitled to an election certificate that would lead to him being seated in the Senate.
"Affirmed," wrote the justices, unanimously rejecting Republican Norm Coleman's claims that inconsistent practices by local elections officials and wrong decisions by a lower court had denied him victory.

Hot Summer for Colorado Senate Dems?

With 60 in place, which one of them will want to spoil the Party now? Udall will pull left, no doubt, but will Bennet have the political will to stand on his business principles when it may cost his party a slam dunk on health care, education, the environment, etc? Will history make the man, or the man, history?

It's about time

I iss his show on Air America, though.

How about a 5 trillion tax cut for the upper 1% that's borrowed from China and then invested in China? The Republican platform has legs.
