GOP candidate compares embryonic stem cell research to "what the Nazis did to the Jews"

By GottaLaff

No. Uh-uh. Don't even go there. Curtis Coleman (R-AR), Sen. Blanche Lincoln's (D-AR) opponent in the Senate race:

“Embryonic stem cell research is taking the concept of taking a life and using it to conduct experiments so we can temporarily extend somebody else’s life. Let me tell you what I just described. I just described what the Nazis did to the Jews in the death camps of WWII,” says Coleman.

He went there.

This is why people like Blanche Lincoln get Democratic support. We need far better candidates in both parties.

BREAKING: Minnesota Supreme Court: Franken wins!

By GottaLaff

MSNBC just reporting.

UPDATE: Coleman to speak at 4 pm ET, Franken at 5:15 ET.

Here's a screen grab:

UPDATE: MSNBC is saying it doesn't look as if Coleman is looking to challenge this in the Supreme Court.

Remember: Having a 60-seat majority guarantees nothing. But it sure feels great.

UPDATE #2:

The state's top court rejected a legal challenge from Republican Norm Coleman, whose options for regaining the Senate seat are dwindling. [...]

Justices said Tuesday that Franken is entitled to the election certificate he needs to assume office. With Franken and the usual backing of two independents, Democrats will have a big enough majority to overcome Republican delaying tactics. Coleman hasn't ruled out seeking federal court intervention.

UPDATE #3: Here's the PDF of the ruling.
