WASHINGTON (AP) - Senate Democrats are urging Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty to certify Democrat Al Franken's election to the Senate following the state Supreme Court's ruling that the former Saturday Night Live comedian defeated GOP incumbent Norm Coleman.

[Kaslin]

I hope Pawlenty gives the rats the bird

[VeniVidiVici]

Coleman screwed himself early on by contesting so few ballots. The Democrats, experts in stealing elections, contested thousands more than he did.

That was the difference.

[Alter Kaker]

Coleman’s already conceded.

[OldDeckHand]

If Pawlenty has any Presidential aspiration (and to me, it seems that he does), he won't certify the comedian until SCOTUS has had their say - assuming that Coleman continues to fight.

If Coleman acquiesces, I don't suppose Pawlenty has much of choice, other than certifying Frankenstein.

[trumandogz]

It is a done deal.

[JohnBrowdie]

history will record that al franken took his place as a democrat senator, and nothing will ever change that.

just in terms of party embarrassment alone, we actually won this one.

[trumandogz]

Coleman conceded.

The only recourse would be for a citizen of Minnesota to file an injunction.

However, that would fail.

[MARTIAL MONK]

Franken’s certifiable.

[MEGoody]

I believe it was Thomas Jefferson who thanked the court for its decision and then said someting like, "Let them enforce it."

Paulenty should follow his lead.

[Da Coyote]

Why not certify? Dim-bulb-crats are most certainly all certifiable.

[Venturer]

Yes any state that elected Franken, legally or not, has shamed itself.

They are a laughing stock and I dont say that because Franken is funny.

[freekitty]

Don’t certify him.

[Kaslin]

He did? Well I guess it doesn’t make any difference now

[freekitty]

If it would fail; why suggest it?

[OldDeckHand]

"Coleman conceded."

I just saw that. What a sad, sad day for the country. Minnesotans should be ashamed of themselves. But, I really didn't expect much else in a state that gave rise to Jesse "the body" Ventura.

[Mister Muggles]

The RATS want Franken suited up and in the dug-out BEFORE the big Crap and Shaft vote.

[Feasor13]

ACORN steals another election.

[Kaslin]

Yeah, he should have contested more. But why did the dems need 60 votes when they already had 59 to have a filibuster proof Senate, especially when there are RINOS in the Senate?

[trumandogz]

At this point, it would just be a delay tactic.

[IbJensen]

This is indeed what the U. S. Senate needs: another communist, America-hating clown!
