Minnesota became a bit of a novelty election state with electing Jesse Ventura as governor. Then California stole it away when they elected Arnold Schwarzenegger as governor. It looks like they've just reclaimed their title.

In some ways, I like novelty politicians. At least you are getting something different. Not like they are going to do more damage than a regular politician.

Might be a bit trickier than that. Pawlenty said he'd sign the certification if the court "ordered" him to.

DEEP BRAIN DIARY Minnesota Supreme Court Sides with Franken

I don't know if I'd trust them to choose another one. God only knows what tv/movie star would be next on the list.

Interesting situation having That and Franken on the other side. The entertainment value of the Senate would go into orbit. I could just hear the chanting of the ditto heads of the Senate. Mitch McConnell doing the ditto head dance in drag. Franken may even say some funny stuff in between lashing out about drug abuse.

I cannot believe how stupid people are. AL FRANKEN!? This country is full of fools.

That's how I felt in 2004 when Bush got re-elected. I was stunned how I had underestimated the stupidity of the American people. I'm glad you know how I felt back then.

No they haven't they had the election stolen, and has Coleman actual said he is going to quit I haven't read or seen anything, as a matter of fact the last thing I heard was Colman was going to have this brought to the United State Supreme Court were it shoul dhave gone in the first place.

Th Justic of the United State's Supreme Court should take all of the ballot's and sit down with their staff and count everyone of them. I find it very hard for someone who had such a large lead end up losing(Stolen) election.

Also if I was a ranking Republican in Congress i would make it quite clear that if Franken is even attempt to be sat that all hell would break loss.

"I just congratulated Al Franken on his victory," Coleman said in a press conference with reporters. "I told him it's the best job he'll ever have -- representing Minnesota in the United States Senate. The Supreme Court has spoken, I will respect its decision, and abide by its results," Coleman also said.

Not really, many people try to be "bipartisan" to appeal to independents... Franken is as partisan as it gets.

Of the small minority left in the Senate that are Republicans how many are not
