For all their Gandalf-versus-the-Balrogdeclarations that former Sen. Norm Coleman (R-Minn.) “will resume his seat,”Senate Republicans have all but admittedthat Al Franken will be joining the Senate soon. From CQ Politics:
“„Senate Majority Leader Harry Reidand Minority Leader Mitch McConnellhave reached a tentative agreement that would give Democrats a three-seat advantage on most committees during the 111th Congress. [...]
“„The major sticking point of the lengthy and sometimes difficult ratio negotiations — whether to count the still-unresolved Minnesota Senate election as a Democratic pickup — appears to have been resolved in Democrats’ favor.
“„[Sen. Debbie] Stabenow (D-Mich.) said the ratios she disclosed Tuesday assume Democrats will enjoy an effective 59-41 edge in the Senate as a whole, a margin the party would achieve only if they win Minnesota.
Would the Republicans have folded if they thought Coleman was going to win?
Of course not.
