The Normie Coleman Countdown

How many days before former Rethug Sen. Norman "Sore Loser" Coleman concedes the election to Sen.-elect Al Franken? Well, the Minnesota State Supreme Court is expected to rule soon, and is expected to direct Rethug Gov. Tim "Bad and" Pawlenty to certify Sen.-elect Franken as the winner, some 7 months after the election.

Let's start the bidding at 20 days. Hopefully, it will be sooner, but we suspect Sore Loser will drag this out through the U.S. Supreme Court, Minnesotans be damned.

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.

Franken Declared Winner

Al Franken, former Saturday Night Live regular and host of a radio show on Air America, has been declared the winner of the recount in the Minnesota Senate election by a margin of 225 votes over Norm "Sore Loser" Coleman, who is contesting the certification. Sore Loser will drag this out until as long as he can, before he slips into oblivion.

A bonus outcome of Franken's victory will be wingnut heads exploding.
