1. Yes, but no order telling Pawlenty to sign it

So Al may still have to wait for the sake of the 2012 GOP Primary voters.

[goodhue]

2. Coleman just conceded

eom

3. It's over

Pawlenty has his free pass for the GOP Primary.

4. Yep, Mr. Gracious

"No Regrets" Norm.

Remember, he just didn't want us all disenfranchised!

And there he goes, off to be a lobbyist, I s'pose.

9. I liked how he mentioned that Laurie was on a tour of Rome with a group from the Cathedral

and when the decision came down she was in the Vatican gardens saying a Rosary :eyes:

No doubt praying that this would end so she can go back to California.

11. Snarf!!!

No doubt!

12. Ha! I missed the Laurie part...touching

Gee, she must've booked a year in advance, or she certainly wouldn't have left Norman as he waited and waited for the inevitable.

5. Finally, Minnesota won't be the laughingstock of the country anymore

Oh wait, we still gotta get rid of Bachmann. Well... finally, Minnesota's ALMOST not the laughingstock of the country!

10. Better yet, we won't have to listen to anyone telling us we should be "doing something"

(storming the court, I guess) and continually explaining that state law was being followed.

6. Future predictions with Pawlenty/Coleman

I have some sources through the Independence Party who are suggesting that instead of going for President in 2012, Pawlenty will run against Klobuchar for Senate and we will see Coleman again in 2010 in the governor's race. Any thoughts?

[Mister Ed]

7. Pawlenty wanted to be Senator to begin with

He was in the car, on his way to file the papers to run for the senate contest, when Karl Rove rang his cell phone to say, "Nope, you're running for governor. Norm's gonna be our candidate for senate".

8. It will give us even more to celebrate on Saturday

Freedom from Norm!
