Coleman could’ve kept fighting it in court (taking it to the Supremes), but he wants now to keep himself potentially viable to run for Governor next year... I thought it was sickening Pawlenty decided to certify it, he knows damn well there was enough fraud and chicanery to call into question the legitimacy of the results given the narrowness, but he wanted to add to the myth that MN is somehow immune to voter fraud in other states. Sorry, Timmy, but where there’s rodents, there’s fraud.
Excellent points! I thought Coleman was going to take it to the Supremes - get it out of the state if nothing else. If Pawlenty is positioning himself for something national, do you think he’s a good bet to support despite this goof?
