Coleman: the GOP's million-dollar man
GOP senators, the Republican National Committee and the National Republican Senatorial Committee insist that the Coleman challenge has been worth the money — for now.
Over the past three months, the NRSC spent nearly $1 million to pay his legal bills, and since Election Day, Republican senators and the RNC have pumped in hundreds of thousands of dollars more.

Coleman’s legal challenge has reached the Minnesota Supreme Court, but many legal experts believe that the court’s decision — expected any day — will affirm that Franken won last November’s election. If that happens, Coleman will have a choice: concede and allow Al Franken to become the 60th Democratic senator or take his court fight to the federal level, a move that would almost certainly force the GOP to reach deeper into its pockets to keep fighting a 2008 race while every other campaign committee has moved on exclusively to 2010 fundraising.

Sheesh! You would think, after the slow demise of Michigan's economy, someone would get a clue that Dem leadership wasn't getting the job done.

Franken and Coleman come from Mn., not Mi. :)
“If they don’t take this to the Supremes and fight this bstard every step of the way, the GOP can KMA and never get a dime...”
Agreed.
They show no fire in the belly on this, they are useless and learned NOTHING from the last election.
Yeah, me too. They may get 5,000 dollars from me, but no dimes.
Actually, I knew he was MN, just got in a hurry and let my fingers do the thinking as I typed. MN is not quite as bad as MI in economy, but how did they vote in a foul mouthed know nothing like Franken? It pains me to even look at him.

“Yeah, me too. They may get 5,000 dollars from me, but no dimes.”
I can’t imagine suppporting them if they allow this to go unchallenged. There is no point in supporting a party that will not take a stand on this most basic issue. The idea that they will be better than the alternative evaporates at that point. They have then become the same. I would take the $5,000 and buy more ammo.
That map is missing Minnesota’s “Northwest Angle” in the Lake of the Woods, the northernmost point of the continental United States.
Our “hometown hero” should be able to draw that from memory.
