So, Republican Norm Coleman plans to appeal the Minnesota court decision that essentially named Democrat Al Franken the winner in the forever long United States Senate contest in that state.
Can you imagine if this were 2000? Before that election there was talk of a popular vote/electoral vote split opposite of how it actually happened, with Bush winning the national tally and Al Gore winning the White House in the Electoral College. Republicans were ready to go to the mat. If this is how they play, that would have been a hell of a rollercoaster ride! Acting president Dennis Hastert taking the reigns while the GOP took the election to courtroom after courtroom all the way into April!
Arrrgh!
