Election Law Experts Agree: Norm Coleman Doesn't Have A Prayer

Politico:

Seven months after Minnesota's Senate election, the state's highest court hasn't reached a decision but election law experts agree: Norm Coleman doesn't have a prayer.

These experts see almost no chance Coleman's lawyers will prevail in their appeal to the state's high court to count more ballots in a bid to erase Al Franken's slim lead.

NORM: GIVE UP AND GO HOME.

No love,

The GOP was NEVER going to win this legal battle -- they just wanted to drag it out as long as possible to prevent the country from moving on with the serious business of cleaning up the BushCo debacle of the last eight years. Like a child throwing a senseless tantrum, digging its heels in, flailing about even when the outcome is clear -- you will eat your brussels sprouts, Norm! You will, you will, you will!

The wonderful downward spiral for Conservatives continues.­.........

[regellner]

Coleman's case has an absence of evidence? Do Coleman's lawyers not know how the courts work?

Following is an article on the Franken/Coleman battle:

Well, that's only what the Supreme Court justices told him. I'm sure you're better-informed than a mere panel of experienced judges.

Dear God,

Please let the GOP run Timmy For President in 2012. Please please please.

Thank you.

LOLZ. I agree. That would make another route of the GOP a fait accompli!

[Cosmic-Zantor]

This seems pretty straight forward.

More people voted for Al Franken. He won.

Why is Coleman being allowed to drag this out and deny the people their right to have two Senators? The Republican party has no ethics or honor.

Norman you may try spending your time working on your resume. You never have had a ob that wasn't considered a government job

The fact that Al Franken may actually steal this election makes me lose all faith in our democratic system.

==========­==========­==========­==========­=======

Steal? How do you figure? You are aware that Coleman's lead attorney Friedberg enthusiastically asserted to the MNSC that they found ZERO evidence of fraud in the election or recount, correct?

Of what theft do you speak? Or are you asserting that Coleman's attorney is a prevaricator?

[Scarlet Fire90]

Also, IF there really was any fraud, IT would've been cited as evidence and trumpeted nationwide. Just more distractions/sour grapes from GOP'ers who can't handle losing.

Dear Stark - I felt the same way in 2000, after President Gore lost 5 - 4. Suck it up, darling.

Cant wait to see Al Franken in the senate. We could use some humor during these tough times.

[talkingdog]

He's not going as a comic,....­or to be funny.

It happens that his observations can make one laugh,...o­therwise cry.

[Layman23]

Are you this serious all the time?

[hrholmes]

As a Pastafarian I would like to offer a prayer to Norm;

You lost ha ha ha now go away forever.

Ramen

[Sandmanj]

Gee... a fundie without a prayer... like an arch without a keystone.

[MNmommy]

Huh, and here I thought Coleman was Reform Jew.

[MNmommy]

When you have zero idea what you are talking about, it's best not to post.

I did. It helps diminish some of the frustration knowing something positive is resulting from this.

Logic or the Law have never really mattered to a Republican, why should this be any different?
