GOP Publicly Divided Over Franken Victory

"One interesting thing about Norm Coleman’s endless legal effort to overturn Al Franken’s apparent electoral victory: It’s creating public divisions among GOP leaders over whether to concede that Franken has won this thing.

Some Republican leaders continue to prop up the public line that Coleman can still prevail. But the stresses of maintaining this less-and-less tenable position are cracking the facade, with other GOP pols straying off message and acknowledging that Franken is all but certain to be seated.

NRSC chief John Cornyn stuck to the message the other day, claiming that a Franken victory was “unlikely.” Other GOP Senators, however, are less willing to attach their names to this sentiment."

It's time for Norm to show some class (or is it too late for that?) and let it go!

For once, I agree with something you bot-posted.

Coleman is carrying on worse than Al Bore. He lost, the voters on MN should hang their heads in shame having Stuart Smalley as Senator.

I think Minnesota should struck from the union and be given to Canada

Norm Coleman was way ahead at election's end. It was only after the Democrats created new ballots for the idiot Franken that it became close. Stalin said it doesn't matter who votes, it is who counts the votes that matters.
The Democrats demand recount after recount until their person is a bit ahead and then they call off recounts.

Watch out America, with Hussein and ACORN, all elections will be stolen.

My sentiments exactly.

The general consensus is that Coleman is a "classless loser" but the evidence says that Franken is cheating and Coleman is merely trying to prevent that. If anyone is trying to screw Minnesotans out of their vote, it's Franken, not Coleman. So I'm surprised that any non-Democrat would dog Coleman about this.

Someone said to me "Coleman should bug off - Franken stole this election fair and square." I thought that was interesting.

Its the media painting him as a classless loser. It's the usual liberal slant on things, doesn't matter that he may have a point, no matter what he says, they aren't listening.

I said that. I've also said, numerous times, that the great untold story of the last generation is voter fraud, starting with Chicago in 1960.

Gore got numbers in 2000 that were entirely unsupportable by population growth, voting trends or any sort of rational thought in many major cities.

John Ashcroft got hosed in St. Louis that same year, obviously cheated.

The only reason Florida 2000 was close was because of the HUGE amount of cheating that went on there.

THis has been done with state and federal money.

You're not gonna like this but, the fact remains, it was known, is known and, when the GOP had the power to do something about it, for six years, voter reform, national ID, some sort of, if nothing else, systematic raising of the issue and attempts to hold people responsible, nothing was done.

This is akin to a mugger holder your throat and slowly squeezing tighter, you get away yet next time, you've done nothing to make yourself stronger, learn some self defense, get a weapon, something to fight back and defend yourself.

I have no doubt there is cheating going on in Minnesota. I have no doubt that ACORN is a federally funded Dem thug group.

I also have no doubt that the GOP has done NOTHING about this and, I'm sorry, why, again, is there reason to support these people? They care about we, the people, and our institutions how?

The GOP is like the US solider in Saving Private Ryan with the German on top of him, fighting with a knife. The German has the upper hand, the US troopers strength is waning and the German just wants the guy to give it up and let him, slowly, push the knife in and get it over with.

There was no fight in the GOP, there is no fight in the GOP...until the German is on top, pushing the knife in, too late.
