Reid Spokesman: He Awaits Resolution For Franken In *Minnesota* Courts
Reid Spokesman: He Awaits Resolution For Franken In Minnesota Courts
By Eric Kleefeld - March 31, 2009, 9:11PM

The national parties are giving their reactions to today's big legal developments in Minnesota.

Jim Manley, the spokesman for Harry Reid, issued this statement:

"Sen. Reid is looking forward to the final resolution of this case by the Minnesota courts so that Al Franken can finally be seated as the new senator from Minnesota."

Pay close attention to the specific mention here of the Minnesota courts. This would appear to say that Reid believes Franken should be seated after his expected victory at the Minnesota Supreme Court -- and that this shouldn't wait for federal appeals.

6. Wonder how the mainstream voters
are feeling in Minnesota? The ones who aren't activists but who see that Al Franken has been ahead all this time and coleman is dragging it out?
