Coleman's definitely dead, no question. But, that hasn't stopped the GOP from throwing his corpse in front of Franken to block his progress.
My concern about Pawlenty comes from the Washington Monthly: "As we discussed yesterday, Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty (R) said he would certify Franken's victory if instructed to do so. The state Supreme Court, however, said Franken is 'entitled ... to receive the certificate of election as United States Senator,' which Pawlenty may very well try to weasel out of."
Pawlenty wants to run for prez and some solid grand-standing could gain him some favor among the hard right.

Man! You beat me by 14 minutes!
This is great. But, the questions remain: 1) does Coleman, with national GOP support, keep pushing? and 2) what will Pawlenty do?
But, one step at a time.
i thought pawlenty already said he would certify the results if the court ruled in favor of franken.
coleman is a dead duck.
