"Ramesh Ponnuru [on the web site "The Corner"] makes the case that by continuing to drag the process through the courts Coleman is hurting the state, his own political future and the Minnesota GOP. Ponnuru’s take: If he keeps up the fight, he is likely to lose, unnecessarily deprive Minnesota of a second senator, end his political career seen as a sore loser, and hurt his party in a state that is eager for this fight to be over. His team has talked enough about further legal challenges that if he leaves now, he will get some points for grace. (Needless to say, that sentiment would not be universal.) But this is, I think, the last moment where he can exit with some dignity."

  1. #1    Coleman is likely becoming a "patsy" now for his "friends" in the GoP. They'll sacrifice him for their party's most undemocratic agenda, and he'll be the one to suffer the retribution.
