Yup. The GOP should play hardball and go ahead and seat John Thune in January. There's a credible case to be made he won the election but for vote fraud and so is the state's legitimate Senator. And at least the GOP will be abiding by the letter of the law whereas in contrast the Democrats broke every rule in the book to help Frank Lautenberg. Its time to show the Democrats we aren't pushovers. Thune should be seated and next time the Democrats won't resort to electoral chicanery to win.

I don't think that is quite the way to proceed. We should investigate fraud and insist on recounting. But bulling ahead without fraud evidence is a recipe for backlash, not success.
