UPDATE!: Huge blow dealt to Coleman and GOP today!The fight continues in the Minnesota Senate race. With a ruling to come down any day now from the three judge panel, Republicans and defeated incumbent Norm Coleman are threatening "WW III" if Al Franken is seated. The opposition , led by Texas Senator Jon Cornyn is apparently horrified at the possibility of "Senator" Al Franken being the Democratic Majority's "59th" vote. Devoting his energy preventing the victor in Minnesota from seating in the Senate, I am sure Texas voters are thrilled. With this potentially headed to the Federal Supreme Court, it could go on awhile. David Boies, one of the recount attorneys in the 2000 Florida recount has declared that Franken has won. If you recall, in 2000 Republicans all but rioted in Florida to stop the counting, now in Minnesota they want counting to continue after they completed a recount that declared the victor. The issue here is that the people of Minnesota have one voice in the Senate, and at this point it is feasible that even Coleman voters have had enough.
