>Is the Republican Party really going to roll over and die for this clown?

F***ing A, it will.
Hence, my tagline

I hear Coleman is going to court on this. The time for him to attack Franken was during the election campaign, but Coleman insisted on ‘no personal attacks’.

Your tagline hits it right on the head! I didn’t donate a dime to Captain Queeg, and I wont write a check to the GOP until I see a Republican with the guts to stand up to the Muslim Marxist, Botox Pelosi, Dingy Harry, and their allies in the press.

The Senate is meaningless. It's a WINDBAG chamber. Frankly the more idiots we can pack into DC the sooner it will fall. They are complete and utter MORONS. Cranky Franken is icing on the cake of DISASTER.

An unfunny comedy writer is about to become a U.S. Senator.

A limousine liberal who has a ton of expensive schooling but still can't manage to say anything more meaningful than, "you know" and remind everyone her daddy was once President is about to become a U.S. Senator.

A man whose single best credential is the color of his skin has been appointed to a U.S. Senator.

This should be the plot of a bad soap opera, not the people running our nation.

The fact that Coleman is in the dire situation he's in says a lot about his re-election efforts. Forget about Franken stealing the election for a second. Coleman barely beat Franken by dozens of votes. I mean a guy like Franken challenges a popular incumbent Senator and nearly wins.

Coleman's problem - and it's a reason why Gordon Smith & Jim Talent lost their races - is that they bragged about how they worked with Democrats and that they were "bipartisan." Yeah, that bipartisanship is really working out well for you right Coleman.

Yes, if your claim to fame in the Senate is that you can get along with Democrat, then that just tells your state that they are better off choosing a Democrat.

Even when they were in the majority, Republicans were focused on getting along with Democrats. Even when Republicans were tied with the advantage of the VP vote, they agreed to share power with Demcrats.

The Senate is not meaningless. Right now, it's the last line of defense for our Republic. Why do you think Palin campaigned for Chambliss. By re-electing Chambliss, it sent a message to the GOP that they needed to stand up to Obama's socialist agenda. Now with Franken stealing the seat, that may not give the Dems the magic 60 seat majority but the GOP's fecklessness have completely given cover to the other RINOs (Specter, McCain, Snowe) to help the Dems. That's why I'm angry that Coleman isn't screaming his head off over this.

I wonder how different the Republican party would have been if Nixon decided not to pursue evidence of voter fraud in Chicago in the 1960 election.

I took a call from someone from the RNC two days ago.
They asked me for a contribution. The individual was contrite, he acknowledged that mistakes were made and that the party was listening.

I am on their list because I made a donation to McCain/Palin (only because Palin was on the ticket). I politely ended call by saying I am only supporting local conservative candidates that I know personally (or hear good things about on this site).

I think you forget McAmnesty and the other RINO layabouts who will side with the ‘Rats.

Me too. I simply told them that they needed to fight, as I said I wouldn’t contribute.

How can Coleman win? Franken is ahead by 226 votes.

Coleman needs to get those 600 additional absentee ballots to be counted by the Supreme Court which I doubt will happen.

Thank the 15,000+ people who voted for the Libertarian and Constitution party candidates.

Wait till the idiots in St Paul and Minneapolis start to enjoy the rampant actions of the diverse population (Somalis etc) and need help. Their liberal (re: Nazi attitudes) attitudes toward the 1st and 2nd Amendments will bite the kneepad Democrats on the butt in Spades. Franken represents the makeup of his constituency very well.

Yeah. Norm Coleman is a coward.

Why don't you educate us on YOUR bravery, investment, contribution and investment?

What have you accomplished in YOUR LIFE to have ANY standing whatsoever???

In my short time here, I know that there is no prospect for chronic whiners to man up when challenged..

Sane Democrats that would’ve voted for Coleman went with Dean Barkley. Barkley was the real problem, but the vote count is still odious and I believe Coleman won, however narrowly.
