Not a surprise on yesterday's results. Give it up, Norm!
Thinkprogress:
After a recount that has gone on since the November election, a Minnesota court today ruled that Democrat Al Franken received more votes than Republican incumbent Norm Coleman in the state’s U.S. Senate race. Coleman has said that he plans to appeal the ruling to the state’s Supreme Court, which “could mean weeks more delay in seating Minnesota’s second senator. After a statewide recount and seven-week trial, Franken stands 312 votes ahead.
Franken actually gained more votes from the election challenge than Coleman, the candidate who brought it.” Gov. Tim Pawlenty (R) has said that although having just one senator is hurting the state’s residents, he supports Coleman’s appeals.

I remember the Sore-Loserman posters the GOP had, and it was close, but Coleman is past ridiculous at this point.
It's over the Fat Lady has sang, now it's up to the Govenor. This will be interesting to see if the Govenor refuses to sign the document for Franken to be Senator. After this circus of a trial the Supreme Court wouldn't take the case anyway.
I feel for Minnesota, and here in Illinois we got our replacement for Obama (Burris) in less time despite all the problems.
The GOP in MN need to get over it and move on.
