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!!!

I honestly can't say for sure, but I really think the GOP had just a bit to do with him continuing on with it. Franken was poised to be a pivotal seat the Dems wanted and the GOP could ill afford to lose. I'm would imagine their were promises made to take care of him but in the end, I believe he was hung out to dry. Bye Norm!

HOCKEY: Yes he did I guess.
