“I am deeply disappointed in the decision made by the state Supreme Court, and I share the frustration of Minnesota’s voters. At the core of our democracy lies two concrete principles: No valid vote should go uncounted and all votes should be treated equally. Sadly, those principles were not adhered to during this election. While I would have proudly stood behind Norm Coleman had he chosen to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, I know that his decision to withdraw from this race was not an easy one, but one that he felt was the best decision for the people of Minnesota. For the last six years, Norm represented the people of Minnesota with distinction, earning a much deserved reputation as one of the hardest-working members of Congress. I, on behalf of all Republicans, thank him for his service and will miss his leadership in Washington.”

"If all votes count; than why did this happen?"

The Honorable "Senator" from Minniesoooooda!

Like Franken, Iran's loser-named-winner, Ahmadinejad, got even more votes on the re-count than he got on the first stuffed-ballot-box count.

I absolutely hate it on days when I can’t find any news on FreeRepublic that cheers me up.

If Coleman wasn’t such a namby-pamby Ex-Dem, this election wouldn’t have been close enough for Mark Ritchie and ACORN to steal.

How true!

It would seem some of the Republican leadership is perfectly happy to be in the minority.

We need some tough folks that really care.
