With His Concession, Coleman Retains a Shred of Dignity

It’s worth considering what Gov. Tim Pawlenty (R-Minn.) and Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) have said about the possibility of today decision by the Minnesota Supreme Court. Back in March, Pawlenty speculated that Coleman might exhaust his appeals by autumn, suggesting a Supreme Court challenge. Cornyn said last week that he would support Coleman if he went that route. In the face of all of that, Coleman can look like he left the race gracefully despite the historic seven-month delay.

are you kidding?! do you not remember Coleman's initial stance that Franken was wasting taxpayer money by not conceding right away? He is a complete hypocrite. (admittedly that is the least of his problems)

I HOPE YOU PEOPLE IN Minnesota ARE HAPPY THAT THE DEMOCRAT PARTY IN YOUR STATE DECIDED THAT YOUR VOTES DIDNT MATTER AND ESSENTUALLY STOLE THE ELECTION. THEY COUNTED AND DOUBLE COUNTED THOUSANDS OF VOTES AND THREW OUT VOTES THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN COUNTED.

YOU PEOPLE IN Minnesota DESERVE THIS IDIOT AND I WILL CELEBRATE THE DAY THAT YOUR STATE IS NOTHING MORE THAN A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY WHEN HE IS DONE WITH IT.

TODAY IS THE DAY I BOYCOTT Minnesota.
I WILL NOT BUY A SINGLE PRODUCT THAT I KNOW IS BUILT THERE.
I WILL NOT VACATION THERE.
I WILL LAUGH AT PEOPLE THAT I MEET THAT COME FROM YOUR STATE.

Minnesota IS OFFICALLY A JOKE TODAY.

I HOPE YOU'RE PROUD.

YOU ELECTED A COMEDIAN TO MAKE SERIOUS LIFE CHANGING DECISIONS THAT AFFECT YOUR FAMILY.

HOW PATHETIC YOU PEOPLE TRUELY ARE.

FOOLs FOOLs FOOLs AND NOW YOU WILL BE LED BY A FOOL.

Would seem to me that if Al Franken can single-handedly drive Minnesota to become its own country, he is one powerful dude! Better warn Manitoba, he may take them down next…

Is this satire? Seriously, are you really saying this with a straight face? After 7 months of BS and knowingly denying the people of Minnesota full representation, his conceding after a knockout blow from the Supreme Court reveals some sort of dignity? Wow, that's really pushing it. Coleman's dignity went out the window a long time ago.
