Norm Coleman strongly denies the allegation that his lawsuit in the Minnesota Senate race is being pursued for the purposes of delaying the Democrats from getting a 59th Senate seat.

“In spite of what some say, that somehow this is an effort to delay something — no,” Coleman told the Star Tribune. “There are very legitimate, important constitutional questions regarding whether or not people’s vote should count.”

Norm also said he wasn’t concerned that keeping this fight going is damaging his future political prospects: “I say this humbly, I don’t spend 30 seconds worrying about my political future.”

In other news, Coleman’s home in St. Paul was egged on Tuesday night.
