If there was any misconception left about why Norm Coleman continues the fight over the election he lost last November to Al Franken, where Norm has lost court case after court case and vote recount after vote recount, wonder no more:
“But winning isn’t about me. You know, it’s not about me or even us as Republicans. It really is about this country. And about the future of the country,” said Coleman. “The one vote in the United States Senate, the one vote is a difference between possibly people losing the right to a secret ballot in a union election, or not … One vote, one vote between the potentiality of a slippery slide into the path of government-controlled health care. If I am in the U.S. Senate, we’re not gonna have a government-controlled health care. It’s not gonna happen.
In other words, the hell with Minnesota and their right to full representation in the Senate. We’re just doing to hold of the process, spend hundreds of thousands, even millions, just so the Democrats don’t have a 60 vote majority.
