"In spite of what some say, that somehow this is an effort to delay something -- no..."

Uh, Norm? You might want to check with Sen. Cornjob on that. He was pretty clear about the purpose of this thing and so were your corporate sponsors.

I say this humbly, I don't spend 30 seconds worrying about my political future

I believe it

"There are very legitimate, important constitutional questions regarding whether or not people's vote should count." - Norm

There are indeed, only the relevant ones were answered in the recount and the election contest.

An election contest is not a referendum on constitutional questions, it's a challenge by a candidate who alleges s/he didn't get a fair shake. If Norm wants to amend the MN State constitution, let him do it via due process. Let disenfranchised voters petition the courts (as some did with Franken's support). That Coleman could not or did not bring his best evidence to the court is not a matter of a bad trial needing an appeals process, it's a matter of $1M in legal fees not being sufficient to buy the trial for Norm.

That said, it would be interesting to see what Coleman's lawyers will try to puff up as legitimate and important issue from the contest.

Anyone know how Franken's finances are doing? I hear he's probably spent about $1M on his side too, and probably won't get all of the paid off by Norm.

"In spite of what some say, that somehow this is an effort to delay something -- no..."

Coleman knows that's BS. We know it's BS. He kows we know it's BS. And, yet, he still feels compelled to say it.

That's why they call you Slimy Norm, Norm.

It's not a compliment.

And, of course, Norm remembers clearly when he suggested that Franken should just be a stand-up guy and not waste taxpayer time and money challenging the initial election results and asking for a recount....

You do remember that, don't you Normie???
