It’s not yet official - Coleman still has one level of appeal to the Minnesota Supreme Court. I understand (IANAL) that of the seven justices, three would need to recuse (for campaign donations, or other conflicts of interest) which would leave the bench with a potential tie. In that circumstance I believe the Governor (Pawlenty) has the ability to decide.

Coleman may finally realize he’s lost, and concede.

I doubt it.

The race is not over yet.

Saints be praised: Al Franken is a senator. The saints are those hard working and selfless individuals who worked for months to get an accurate count, by hand, of millions of ballots.

Sure, it will be challenged by the barely losing incumbent. But the word is official and unlikely to change.

Let’s see any other Senator do this (he “addresses” a crowd 20 years ago)
