Dems to Coleman: Concede Already

Share

(Newser) – Democrats have widened their campaign against Norm Coleman to include a radio ad urging him to concede to Al Franken, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. “Minnesota deserves two senators and voters deserve to have their verdict stand,” says the ad, produced by the DNC. “Call Norm Coleman,” the ad concludes. “Tell him that it is time to concede.”

No matter who wins, this election is a joke. 5 months go by and Minnesota can't decide an election or re-vote? If they want to maintain any kind of credibility they will resolve this soon. Reply
