If the Senate Democrats award the seat to Franken, the life of the Senate will be paralyzed over the next two years and more... A stolen election will neither be forgotten or forgiven. The Democrats have all the seats they need. Just taking another one by a questionable mandate to bolster an already overwhelming partisanship advantage will destroy their ability to move ahead with their agenda. They will have to ask themselves if overturning the will of MN voters is worth the cost.

McConnell will tell Reid and the White House to expect zero cooperation from the GOP if the will of MN voters is not respected. I imagine that Obama will step in and tell Reid he is making the RATS look bad by refusing to recognize the duly elected senator and Reid will grudgingly agree to seat Coleman.
