Coleman will always be the 'sore loser'
In Minnesotan’s eyes, and the rest of the country, Coleman will always be the “sore loser” because of his actions in the 2008 senatorial race. He has dragged on the election results for six months now, way to long for most people’s tastes.
Most recently, he has petitioned the Minnesota Supreme Court to review prior decisions and hopefully decide in his favor.
Here’s what could happen:
The Supreme Court may decide to remand back to the lower cours and order them to count more of the absentee ballots. In that case, the process will be drawn out even longer, with more taxpayer funds spent.
The Supreme Court may not certify Franken as the winner. In that case, Franken may petition the Supreme Court to do so. Another wait for Minnesota to seat its second senator.
Or, the Supreme Court may not certify Franken and the Democrats seat him without a certificate. In that case, the Republicans may fillibuster.
In any of those scenarios, or probably a multitude of others, Coleman will always be looked upon as a “sore loser” and his future life in politics is probably nil.
