Remember "One is the Loneliest Number"? Apparently "59 is the Scariest Number":
With Al Franken (D) increasing his lead over Norm Coleman (R) yesterday, Bloomberg skips ahead to evaluate Coleman's odds if he appeals all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.Stop. Just stop. Losers have to know when to stop. So.... stop.
"Coleman's dwindling chances of reclaiming his U.S. Senate seat largely depend on a broad reading of the Supreme Court's Bush v. Gore decision, a ruling the court itself said should be applied sparingly... Indeed, the high court has yet to cite Bush v. Gore in the 600-plus rulings it has released since then, and lower courts generally have proven reluctant to use the ruling as grounds for invalidating state voting procedures."
And yes, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports Coleman will appeal the final vote tally.
