Today was a big day in the seemingly never-ending saga that is the 2008 Minnesota Senate race. The Minnesota Supreme Court heard former GOP Sen. Norm Coleman’s challenge of a previous decision by a three-judge panel that awarded the election to Democratic challenger Al Franken. The Coleman camp is seeking the inclusion of 4,400 previously discounted absentee ballots, arguing that Franken-friendly parts of the state applied more lenient standards in accepting ballots.
The Minnesota Independent’s Paul Demko has details from today’s proceedings.

Enough, already! Minnesota residents deserve representation in the US Senate. This farce has gone on far too long. Since both men received the same number of votes, let's just flip a coin and get on with it. Coleman's a sore loser and I'm hoping Franken wins because he's had the grace to keep quiet but either one is better than no one!!

“It’s always a tricky business to read clues into the questions that judges ask the lawyers during these proceedings — despite some basic assumptions about how this works, judges can surprise you. But if we just go by the basic assumptions, it didn’t look good for Coleman, with the judges asking pointed questions of Friedberg that at certain points amounted to ridicule of him for putting on a shoddy case.”
