Coleman Concedes To Franken...

Well there you go; I blog about it and it happens (The Saints are winning the Superbowl!!!) lol. Former Senator Norm Coleman has conceded to Senator-Elect Al Franken in the Minnesota Senate race that has been in contention since the November election. Coleman called Franken to congratulate Franken hours after the Minnesota Supreme Court ruled that Franken was the winner. This means that Coleman will not move forward with trying to go through the federal courts for appeals. President Obama put out a statement after the announcement stating "I look forward to working with Senator-Elect Franken to build a new foundation for growth and prosperity by lowering health care costs and investing in the kind of clean energy jobs and industries that will help America lead in the 21st century". Congratulations Al Fraken!
