Al Franken Has Won In The Minnesota Supreme Court

2:47 PM EDT on June 30, 2009

Man, I didn't even realize this was still going on. Note to Bravo: please start putting a political news ticker at the bottom of Real Housewives. From the AP:

ST. PAUL, Minn. -- The Minnesota Supreme Court has ordered that Democrat Al Franken be certified as the winner of the state's long-running Senate race.

The high court rejected a legal challenge from Republican Norm Coleman, whose options for regaining the Senate seat are dwindling.

Justices said Franken is entitled to the election certificate he needs to assume office. With Franken and the usual backing of two independents, Democrats will have a big enough majority to overcome Republican filibuster.

Yay!

Of course:

Coleman hasn't ruled out seeking federal court intervention.

That guy. Totally one of the best guys. Cafe Press is actually sold out of "World's Best Guy" mousepads because Norm Coleman's friends made a run on the place.
