In response to "MN Supreme Court turns down Norm Coleman's plea to include 654 rejected absentee ballots in the final vote count. -- (link)" by Don Homer

I've said it before and I'll say it again. It's better for the Republican party for Coleman to lose this and Al Franken to be a Democratic senator.

He's just the sort of lightning rod they need.

Well, if Coleman was to win, it wouldn't be long till he was out due to legal troubles -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Jan 5, 12:29
Eh. You would have thought the same about Hillary Clinton in NY. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 5, 12:15 7
- Professional politician vs. a professional blow hard (literally)? No question, Franken is a one-termer. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 5, 12:19 6

  - Unless he loses in the primary, I doubt it. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 5, 12:20 4
    - Why would you doubt it? He just won by the narrowest possible margin while riding Obama's coattails. -- nm - David Jan 5, 12:22 2
      - He's in a very liberal state. Coleman had a built-in advantage as an incumbent to make it close. - Don Homer Jan 5, 12:24 1
        
        Speaking as one of the most liberal people on the planet, I would have rather Franken have lost. And I like Al Franken a lot. -- nm - David Jan 5, 12:26
    - 2014 will already be out of the Obama swoon. Franken's guaranteed for at least two "He said what?!" moments between now and then. - Name Withheld By Request Jan 5, 12:22
