A spokesman for Norm Coleman cautioned against reading too much
into the news that his boss has accepted a job at the Republican
Jewish Committee, which I blogged about
earlier.
“It’s pretty simple, Sen. Coleman is not a member of the
millionaires’ club and he needs to work to a earn a living,”
spokesman Mark Drake told me on a phone call. “This changes
nothing in the current contest, which we expect Sen. Coleman to
prevail in.”
He added that, “he has a mortgage and he’s got a couple of kids
in college.”
The Coleman campaign is contesting the election on grounds that
some ballots were double counted while the state did not follow a
uniform standard across the counties for including in the recount
absentee ballots that were orignially rejected. Yesterday, the Al
Franken campaign asked a court to dismiss the contest.

Using Bush v Gore 2000 as a precedent, Coleman should retain his Senate seat and send Stuart Smalley back to liberal-hate radio. But in the meantime, a guy's gotta make a living.

Good luck, Senator Coleman, I pray that your efforts to retain your seat are successful.

Stealing elections has become Democrat specialty and Republicans must develop adequate defenses. Remember their 8-year long campaign of hate after their failed coup d'etat in Florida? And how they stole Washington State gubernatorial elections two years ago? Or South Dakota senatorial elections a few years ago? And now in Minnesota?

The only manner we have to prevent democrat stealing of elections is to overwhelmingly win at the ballot box. There has to be more votes for the Republican candidate than there are gravesites in Chicago.
