MN Supremes To Coleman: Rejected!

The MN Supreme Court rejected an appeal today by Sen. Norm Coleman's campaign to count rejected absentee ballots from GOP-leaning areas, the latest blow to the incumbent's bid for re-election. The decision effectively allows the State Canvassing Board to certify the recount results, and at this point, Democrat Al Franken holds an unofficial 225-vote lead.

It's time for Coleman to pack it in. Al Franken is your U.S. Senator-elect from Minnesota.
