DSCC communications director Eric Schultz just sent TPM this statement in response to the Coleman legal team’s suggestion that the election court throw out the whole election result:
“I’m sure Senator John McCain would like to throw out the results of November 4, 2008 as well. I applaud the Coleman campaign for their candor: at least after five weeks in court the Coleman camp is admitting they lost the election, and I also applaud them for their creativity – maybe next they’ll suggest aliens from Mars come down to make Norm Coleman Senator again – because that’s as far-fetched as asking for a revote when you lose an election. If Senator Coleman wants a revote, he can have one: in 2014 when Senator Franken’s first term expires.”
