Conservatives Preparing For Coleman Defeat

December 31, 2008 09:30 AM


As the window closes on Norm Coleman's chances for retaining his seat in the Senate, some conservatives are beginning to envision life without the Minnesota Republican.

In a filing on the conservative website, NewsMax.com, author David A. Patten looked at the numbers and saw in them a Coleman-less Senate.



Others on the right are not ready to accept defeat. National Republican Senatorial Committee Chair John Cornyn released a statement on Tuesday indicating that some GOP senators would resist seating Franken before the courts have their say, even if the Democratic challenger is declared the winner of the recount. "I expect the Senate would have a problem seating a candidate who has not duly won an election," Cornyn claimed.

In private, meanwhile, GOP officials have begun to contemplate Al Franken -- whose lead stands at a scant 50 votes and with largely favorable absentee ballots left to count -- ending up in Washington D.C.

"I expect the Senate would have a problem seating a candidate who has not duly won an election"

Keeriiiist.

It's hard to tell who is stupider, Cornyn or Goodhair.

at their keyboards in their Mom's basement?

BWAH!

Senator Al Franken. :D

I doubt that Al Franken or Norm Coleman will start in the next Senate until late January or later.

Senator Al will have them rolling in the aisles with his lines.

:rofl:

win will trigger a Hollywood rush on politics. It may, but it's unlikely. And if the L.A. candidate wins, so be it.

mind and with a good career wouldn't even consider politics. Those with a conscience who understand what's going on I welcome.
