Good news for Franken: Pawlenty will follow state Supreme Court's direction

By GottaLaff

I haven't heard this discussed anywhere yet, surprisingly:

Pawlenty, whose term lasts 19 more months, also said he would follow the state Supreme Court's direction on whether to issue an election certificate in the disputed U.S. Senate race.

Republican Norm Coleman, whose term expired in January, is contesting the recount that tipped the race to Democrat Al Franken by a few hundred votes. Pawlenty said he'll follow the state Supreme Court's direction on the certificate and won't "hold it up or delay it in any fashion."

If you put this together with what I posted yesterday, things are starting to look up for the U.S. Senate's 60th Democratic member, Al Franken, finally.
