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

In all fairness you have MN/STP University’s deciding the fate. They graduate and leave, its not well there.
add to it, you have a large influx of foreign immigrants the last 20-30 years. Minnesota has never shyed from opening its doors to others.
this would all be a mute point if the same guy who headed up the UN oil-for-food investigation in the senate had had enough sense to support drilling ANWR. How many votes was that worth?
Barkley (Ind) (former campaign manager for Ventura)
Coleman (Democrat lite)
Franken (Democrat)
What the heck was a Conservative to do?
There’s part of me that wants him in just so people can see what idiots the Democrats are.
That one is close as Nashville has one of those Gov’t relocation mandates.
What I understand also is the refining part was ready to go for the Alberta sands project. Why reps are saving the small portion of ANWR tundra is a mystery to me also.
Not this Minnesotan either, Norm is a RINO or he would say pragmatist. I held my nose and voted for him and McCain both and watched ACORN steal it. I hope he holds on til it goes to the Supreme Court of the United States.
And Dems cheat their way to another seat. :(
Keep up the fight Norm! If they want it, make them fight for every inch of it!
Dear God! Isn’t there enough idiocy for them to see already?
By now, if you don’t know that all polls are rigged to favor liberalism, you are a fool. Not you specifically, just the general “you”.
Minnesota should permanently lose 1 Senate seat as punishment for (ALMOST) electing Franken and then being cool with election theft.
