Scarborough To Coleman: "You Lost... It Is Over" (VIDEO)
The drumbeat is growing louder for former Minnesota Sen. Norm Coleman to drop his long-shot appeal of the state's prolonged recount.

In the wake of a three-judge panel declaring that Al Franken was the leading vote-getter of the U.S. Senate election, MSNBC's Joe Scarborough offered a preemptive and withering criticism of Coleman's likely appeal of that decision to the state Supreme Court.

"Seriously. Norm, I like you. You lost. Okay," he said. "Can we seat a senator so Amy doesn't have to do the job of two Senators? It is seriously not fair to constituents in Minnesota to drag this out any longer. It is over Norm, okay. It is over."

1. Coleman has known that for a very long time. It's about delaying Franken now, that's all.

5. Coleman is affiliated with the Obstructionist Party.



He's acting true to form. If only all the other Obstructionists would face the fact that they had their
asses handed to them in November maybe we as a country could get something done in a positive manner.

2. As long as Coleman can continue to rake in funding it isn't over for him.
He is still putting out appeals for money to fight his "legal" battle. As long as he is receiving large sums of money it will continue. It has become his job..

3. There are three main reason for being a thorn:
. He's needed to continue to be a lap dog even if it means embarassing hiself.

. He needs to raise more money for legal fees of the lawsuit and pay his bills.

. Delay MN from having two Senators and the Senate to having a full house.

He can do it because he doesn't seem to mind being used and using the citizens of MN.

4. my sick to my stomach feeling is...
Once Al takes his seat and coleman is sidelined, coleman will continue in his whiny prick-like ways to make Al's political life miserable.

just a feeling.

6. Maybe it's time the citizens of Minnesota
hit Coleman with a class-action lawsuit to force him to knock this shit the fuck off.
