and call off the recount. Apparently the law would allow Franken to concede. Coleman assures us that if the situation were reversed that is what he would do.
But there is nothing in Coleman's history to indicate that he is telling the truth. In 1998 he never conceded to Ventura but instead gave a drunken speech about Minnesota voters 'letting him down' and not knowing what they were doing.
He has filed one lawsuit in this campaign already and deflected the attention of another lawsuit against him toward Franken.
There is no dirty political trick that is beneath Coleman. In fact, his empassioned plea now is not for the good of Minnesotabut for the good of Norm Coleman.
In a race this tight a recount would certanly clarify that we got it right. Either candidate would be able to go to office with their head held high - at least on this issue.

There was a discussion on "The View" this morning, regarding this way-too-close race. "Is it better to lose by a margin or a landslide?" pondered the girls. I'd want the recount. Seems we've been there before.
There were other discussions, too. I enjoyed them immensely, as they related to the amazing history in the making, witnessed by all of us last night!
