MUST READ FROM THE PIONEER PRESS: “AFTER ALL THIS, DON’T JUMP THE GUN NOW”
By Ryan Flynn | December 31, 2008
The Pioneer Press has a great editorial today regarding the recount:
“We see this as a three-act drama. If, by this time next week, Al or Norm is declared the winner of the recount — that is, at the end of Act II but before Act III — there will be a rush to put that man in the seat immediately. We could imagine a scenario where the Democratically controlled U.S. Senate would be happy to do this if Franken maintains his margin.
That would be a slap in the face to Minnesota fairness.
State law includes the right of an election contest. Seating either man while that is pending will be seen as a partisan power play that breaks faith with the spirit of the law. A court contest need not be drawn out but it is the candidate’s right. Norm and Al can cool their heels until it’s over.” Source: Pioneer Press, December 31, 2008

If Franken is certified as the winner of THE RECOUNT, Senator Coleman should “step aside”, to use his own words on November 5th.
Norm has the class to step aside, but does he have the nerve?

Why would he step aside when the law allows for an “Election Contest”? Are you suggesting he should do what Angry Al wouldn’t do – quit before the process is over?
Just because Angry Al says it’s over doesn’t mean it is.

Coleman should do just as he asked Senator-Elect Franken to do on November 5th, namely “step aside”.
And why would Franken be angry if he knows he has won a seat in the United States Senate?
