« DNC Chair Kaine: Today's Ruling "Marks The End Of The Line For Norm Coleman's Legal Battle" | Home | Top Senate Dem Aide: We Are Prepared To Swear In Franken "As Early As Possible Next Week" »
Coleman And Franken To Do Press Conferences Later Today
Former Sen. Norm Coleman (R-MN) will be holding a press conference at 4 p.m. ET, reacting to today's ruling by the Minnesota Supreme Court that Democratic comedian Al Franken is the winner of the 2008 Senate race.
The big question is whether Coleman will concede the race, or instead try to fight on at the U.S. Supreme Court. It's been nearly six months since this Senate seat went vacant, stuck in the limbo of all this litigation. We could know today whether this is truly the end, or if instead this will keep on going.
Apparent Sen.-elect Al Franken (D-MN) will then give his own press conference at 5:15 p.m. ET.

Now is the time for all Dems to turn up the heat and demand that Coleman cease and desist in thwarting the will of the Minnesota voters.

Has Coleman held press conferences after the previous defeats?

If Coleman wants any, and I mean any, future in politics, he'll gracefully concede. Should be an interesting presser.
Not on the Mark "Sparkin'" Sanford scale, of course, but still. . .

I expect a reasonably gracious concession with a big dose of "I was right to take it this far" and "I was only doing it to uphold the principles of democracy".
