Hey GOP: You never get to complain about a recount again
You could have publicly told Coleman to quit it. You could have privately told him. You could have even done nothing, and let him hang himself with his own rope.
Instead you eagerly funded his legal fight, not because he had any chance of victory, but for the very purpose of delaying Franken's seating, denying the people of Minnesota full representation.
This after the whining and tantrums of Florida 2000.

You've lost. Not just the Senate seat. You've lost the right to ever complain again about us challenging any close or questionable election. For if you do, we have a one-word argument to throw back in your face:

Coleman

3. You're right, but I'm happy that the GOP spent all that money.

4. True. It could have gone instead to Mark Sanford's Presidential run. Oh, wait...

5. Coleman and you guys always cheat
That we weren't able to stop your cheating in the 2000 election doesn't make what you did right. Never, ever will.

7. Isn't it too bad that they just won't get it
In fact, they won't even remember who Coleman was past this next six pack. It's just sports to them and their "guy" lost.

8. I was one of many who donated $1/day
for each day this circus went on. I wonder how much we raised.

I think Franken will be a GREAT senator all Americans will be proud of.
