Handwriting On The Wall

There are reports that former Rethug Sen. Norm "Sore Loser" Coleman may be ready to give up his cynical fight to deny Senator-elect Al Franken the Minnesota Senate seat. The Minnesota Supreme Court is expected to rule within days on Sore Loser's challenge, and most are betting that the court will order Minnesota Gov. Tim "Good and" Pawlenty to certify Democrat Franken as the winner. Assuming the ruling will be issued this month, it will mark 8 months that Sore Loser has been throwing obstacles in Sen.-elect Franken's path to join Sen. Amy Klobuchar as Minnesota's second Senator -- and become the 60th Democrat in the U.S. Senate.
