3 Judge Panel Concludes Franken Wins, Coleman To Continue To Cry About It

(via the Twin Cities' Channel 5 KSTP, one of the most awesomest call signs evar) This just in: a 3-Judge panel has declared Al Franken has actually won the Minnesota US Senate election:

Over five months after the election, a three-judge panel has declared Democrat Al Franken the winner of the Minnesota U.S. Senate race.

The judges issued their final ruling late Monday, stating "Franken received the highest number of lawfully cast ballots in the Nov. 4, 2008 general election."

They also have determined that Franken is entitled to receive the certificate of election.

But is it over? No, not by a long shot. It ain't over till Norm Coleman says it's over, man:

Outside the courtroom, Coleman attorney Ben Ginsberg minimized the new margin because his side was certain to appeal to the Minnesota Supreme Court.

"What happened today in the sphere of this election is really inconsequential," he said. "There's a much larger universe of ballots that should be opened."

Remember, people, it ain't over till the crybaby sings.
