In the two days since a three judge state panel handed Norm Coleman a major setback in his election contest against entertainer Al Franken (D) the former Minnesota senator has made clear that he has no plans to declare defeat anytime soon.
"Well, clearly it wasn't over," Coleman said during a radio interview yesterday, adding: "Every vote has to now be counted, and as I repeat again and again, counted with a uniform standard."
Coleman's lead lawyer, Ben Ginsberg, has dismissed the court's ruling on Tuesday as an "April Fool's day" decision. The ruling "gives us no choice but to appeal that order to Minnesota Supreme Court," added Ginsberg.

WaPo needs to be asked if they ever considered asking Franken to concede, and why they waited until Franken was “ahead” before asking someone (read: Coleman) to concede.
Hell no!
Never give in—make them wait and see....
What would the messiah do? He wouldn’t quit. Drag it out as long as possible. Maybe Stewart will die of a heart attack before it is done.
All the way to the Supreme’s.
I didn’t realize his atty is Ben Ginsburg....I love that guy!
NO.
But he will - at some point. The McCain wing of the Party will prevail upon him the need to be civil, to act to stabalize the government and help the new President “succeed.”
Damn it!
It's up to us Minnesota voters not people around the U.S.A!
We need a special election and NOW!
THEN let's see who wins by a virtual landslide!
That would be too fair however to consider of course.
That he may be, and if so, the longer it takes, the better off we all are... Just Say NO!!

Not that it matters.
No!
I am a realist. But, I assure you - I’ll never give up. I am the resistance, and I will not compromise. So - in the end, they’ll have to line me up against the wall and shoot me.
No.
Well, there is that....
Heh!
Leaves the definition of "entertainer" wide open doesn't it?
Not until all votes are counted with a uniform standard, which apparently has not happened.
It sounds like from this that Coleman has no intention of conceding. GOOD!! I hope he fights this to the U.S. Supreme Court if necessary. After what the Dims did to Stevens of Alaska, we need to win one of these corruption cases.
