I have some homework for those of you in Minnesota (Senate race)

Though, I guess anybody could do this:

Let's try to find old quotations from Norm Coleman in 2000 lamenting Al Gore's post-election challenges and demands for a recount. Gore, of course, conceded on December 13. It is now March 30.

I don't have access to old Minnesota newspapers.

1. Normie wasn't a Senator back in 2000, he was elected in 2002

And only because of Paul Wellstone's death. He was Mayor of Saint Paul in 2000. I find it amusing that he lost to Jesse Ventura in 1998.

2. That's OK, but it's beyond that now

it's been at the point that the GOP wants to prevent Franken from taking office as absolutely long as possible. Ideally they would prefer to run this as far into next year as possible. It stopped being about Coleman a few months ago. They know Coleman has lost. Now it's about keeping the Democrats from getting a full 59. The focus should be on that rather than Coleman.
