Comments on: Franken-Coleman Senatorial Race Decision Expected ….

While that may seem like a long shot at first glance, Norm might want to run for governor now that Pawlenty has said he won’t seek another term. If those are his plans, then the last thing he wants to do is to further piss off Minnesota voters by dragging this into the federal courts.

This is just speculation on my part, but I believe that Coleman has been busy doing polling to guage what his chances are to succeed Pawlenty. If the polls look promising, then as soon as the MSC rules against him, he will gratiously concede for he good of Minnesota and the nation. For now, we’ll just have to wait and see what happens.

I mean, hell, SCO v Novell / SCO v IBM both look to be winding down finally!
