Funny how you mention "if the roles were reversed!"
When Coleman "thought" he had won the election and Franken was considering having a recount done, Coleman mentioned in his "psuedo" acceptence speech, "that if he were Franken, he would just concede to save the Minnesota tax payers all of the recount money."
Kind of funny what happened after the recount when Franken was declared the "real" winner. Coleman didn't exactly concede like he said Franken should do, no, instead he fought the recount all the up to the Minnesota Supreme Court costing Minnesota tax payers 25 times more than just the recount alone would have cost!
Good job Norm!
But wait, Norm brought Hockey back to Minnesota!!!
