Seat Senator Franken, Minnesotans Say
Al Franken has won the Senate race in Minnesota, but for Norm Coleman spending Republican money to appeal. Now a poll shows that Minnesotans want the race over and a Senator representing them now. Senator Franken. Pawlenty is running more of a political risk here than he thinks.

1. Pawlenty will likely get political cover when the MN SC orders him to certify Franken.
He can then say, "Just following orders".

5. Captures the nomination
