A race too long
IT'S time for Norm Coleman to concede ...
Having lost a recount of the 2.9 million ballots cast, Mr. Coleman sued under a state law that merely required a three-judge panel to determine who got the most votes and was therefore entitled to an election certificate ...
By most measures, that unanimous opinion would seem to decisively conclude the long-running dispute, but Mr. Coleman isn't letting statesmanship rule. His lawyers promptly announced they would take his fight to the Minnesota Supreme Court, which could mean weeks more of delay.
That amounts to thumbing his nose at weary Minnesotans, eager for the seemingly interminable race to end so they can have their requisite representation of two U.S. senators. Even Republican newspapers are urging Mr. Coleman to give it up.
