Coleman: Senate contest panel was not partisan

It’s nice to see him admit it, and on the Michael Medved show, no less:

I’m not saying, by the way, that this court was a partisan court.  You had three trial court judges. They looked at the ballots in front of them. They made determinations about what they felt were legally cast ballots.

I hope the right wing bloggers and talkers are taking notes.

This is a sign that another one of Coleman’s strategies has failed. The Coleman campaign spent months trying to cast every recount official as a partisan hack, but the general public didn’t buy it. Now they’ve apparently given up. That’s good news for Minnesota’s electoral process and election officials, who deserve to be acknowledged for their fairness and effectiveness.

  • You think our MN race was close. New York congressional race current count:

    Tedisco (R) 77,225
    Murphy (D) 77,225

    10,000 absentees to count.

  • Update: Murphy up by 198 votes after corrected count from Washington county.

    in other news:

    Norm Coleman is a sore loser

    • “Update: Murphy up by 198 votes after corrected count from Washington county.”

      Gee, that sounds familiar. Did the “Big D” machine finally swing into action?

      • C”Rush”,

        Of course, you must believe that if a Democrat wins a close election that they have cheated. You have to believe that, evidence be damned. That is what being a dittohead is.

        It’s all black and white, good vs evil, dumbed down for people like you beliefs that you have embedded into that thick sloping forehead of yours. There is never common ground, or fairness, only dittoheads vs the enemy (everyone who is not a dittohead).

        Great Job!!

      • Cman. If you know something about corruption in the New York legislative election, please share it. In your post you are insinuating corruption. I don’t need hard proof but at least something more concrete than “sounds familiar”.

  • I’d disagree with your conclusion. The way I see it, Coleman is sending his lawyers and flaks out to throw the bombs, while Norm himself plays “the solemn statesman who regrets all the partisanship surrounding this event.”

  • Ain’t no “come to jesus” moment.
    Norm has been talking out both sides of his mouth for a very long time.

    I knew it was a mistake for him to introduce Wellstone back during the one campaign. Something didn’t seem right
    about Coleman from the start.

    Taking Norm at face value is a dangerous proposition. He’s playing “good cop” contrary to
    what his campaign will do. I need more than one statement out of Norm to think he changed his spots.
    He pretends a lot.
