Democrat Al Franken as the winner of the state's vacant Senate seat after the state's high court ruled that Republican challenger Norm Coleman had exhausted his options for appealing the result.
Coleman responded to the court ruling by conceding the election and wishing Franken well, ending an eight-month legal battle that directly affects the balance of power in the Senate.

and I have a feeling that franklin will implode on his on own stupidity, just give him time
But now with some power, maybe old Al will grow up. Women will start cozying up to him (because he is a senator). He’ll fall in love. He’ll start having sex. He’ll lose some of his anger and angst and rage. He’ll reproduce. His little 16 year old brain will start to mature. He’ll get caught up in pork. He’ll become one of the guys. Somebody will take him hunting and fishing. Teach him about beer and jack Daniels.
parsy, who is praying for this scenaro
I totally agree. Why the hell didn't he take this to the supreme court when this was the last step?
I'm very discouraged because there doesn't seem to be anyone capable of stopping the voter fraud and that's the only thing that ever kept us free. Our politicians, Republicans included, keep playing their stupid little games, worrying about polls and such, while Democracy is being stolen right in front of them.
So far, I've seen ACORN get BILLIONS of dollars to fund their criminal organization and a congress that refuses to even investigate them. MN was proven to have hundreds of votes by corpses and that was ignored. Where is there any hope?
All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing
Who knows?
And darn it, he deserves it.
One more counting of the votes and Franken could have gathered 110% of the votes.. Something stinks in Minnosota..
VERY good to see YOU...and yes, he should have fought harder than he did.
I just hope this idiot causes a backlash in 2010 that issues in a new wave of Republicans who ACT like Republicans! The panty-waists that we have now haven’t even raised their voices to protest all the stealing of America that is going on right under their noses!
I am damned angry!
The problem is, it is Satan who is answering these prayers.
*grin*
Just wish.......
“He’ll fit right in with this august body.”
No kidding...collectively, our US Senate makes Michael Jackson look “normal.”
...and it's not just the lutkefisk! :D
Satan does seem to be in charge of Washington, DC right now.
The Republicans basically rolled over, played dead and gave it all over to him and his minions!
There's no "maybe" about it.
Well said, Kenny!
a speeding bus
If the Republicans had any brains or ba!!s they would rent a billboard in DC with a picture of Franken in his diaper and a list of his tax evasion incidents as a greeting.
That is a very scary and nausiating scenario! LOL!
~~shudder~~
Just can’t see Stuart Smalley becomeing “one of the guys”!
Hard not to be angry when you have a left wing dictator for a POTUS !!
