Poll: Minnesotans Want Coleman to Concede
NewsMax ^ | 5/20/09

Posted on 05/20/2009 8:28:33 PM PDT by steve-b

A majority of Minnesota voters want Republican Norm Coleman to concede so Democrat Al Franken can take Coleman's seat in the U.S. Senate, a new Rasmussen poll reveals....

54 percent of respondents want Coleman to concede, and 41 percent are opposed to a Coleman concession.

63 percent say they expect Franken to eventually take the Senate seat, no matter what Coleman does; in December, 67 percent expected Coleman to win.

If the Minnesota Supreme Court upholds a lower-court ruling that Franken won, 67 percent of respondents want Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty to sign an election certificate allowing the Senate to seat Franken, according to the poll results reported by The Minnesota Independent....

The Rasmussen poll also found that 92 percent of respondents are following news about the Senate race "very closely" or "somewhat closely."

Keep up the fight Norm. We have enough entertainment value in Biden. We need someone in there that is going to do the job, not simply mouth the words.

Well then, the majority of Minnesota voters can lick me where I stink. You are the fools who made this sham possible. I saw your ex-gov on TV still raving against President Bush last night. BTW, your football team sucks, too.

Not this Minnesotan. Those DemocRATS stole the dang thing. There is no way the votes could turn around like they did otherwise.

Can I go for extra credit? ;-)

I left Minnesota for good in 1980,, moved to California. (I should have kept going.)

I used to go back quite a bit. Haven’t been back for a number of years, much to the consternation of all the family that is still there.

What has happened there is sad to watch. It has become a welfare state that does more to fend for those who are too lazy to fend for themselves than those who are the producers.

Yep:
Democrats on election night: Crap, we got all those double votes and we are still down. Ok, regroup and let’s steal this darn thing in the recount.”

Blame Lou Grant’s news room and the inability for folks cooped up for 4 months to think.
