The Minnesota Senate Race Is Over — Coleman Has Conceded Defeat To Franken – TPMDC (6/30/09):
In a press conference just now, former Sen. Norm Coleman (R-MN) has conceded defeat to the Democratic comedian Franken in the 2008 Senate race — nearly eight months after Election Day, and six months after the seat went vacant when Coleman’s single term had expired. Coleman said that further litigation would damage the state, and congratulated Sen.-elect Franken on his victory.
Wow. I thought this was going to continue for another few months at least. Congratulations Senator Franken. Still, I’m sure we’ll soon hear Obama and Reid explaining that even 60 votes doesn’t mean anything in the Senate.
The Seersucker Caucus is in grave danger of losing its quorum with Lott, Warner, Stevens and now Coleman gone.
Edited to add: I forgot all about this:
