S[g]O[p]RE losers
This is an abuse of the American political system.
Franken, the former comedian, leads Republican Norm Coleman by 225 votes in a “Groundhog Day” of an election that dawned more than three months ago and shows no signs of ending soon. Which is exactly how Senate Republicans want it. The National Republican Senatorial Committee held a ritzy fundraiser for Coleman in Washington this week, helping him raise the money he needs to keep his legal challenges alive through a trial and then a lengthy legal process if he loses.
The GOP is determined to keep Al Franken from taking his Senate seat even if it means continuing lawsuits they know they cannot win.
The GOP are very sore losers here.
They cried foul when Al Gore asked for recounts in the 2000 election. Yet Gore only held on for around one month. He could have taken more time but he did the honorable thing.
There is simply no excuse for Coleman's actions here.
Now with Norm Coleman extending this to three months the GOP keep it going because they know it is the only way they can prevent the will of the voters of Minnesota and the will of the American people.
