When is it time to just give up the Senate seat?

Question:

Since November the Minnesota senate race between Al Franken and Norm Coleman has been going on. The votes were counted and recounted. The Minnesota supreme court declared Franken the winner, who has a 312 vote lead after all the recounts. So, when will this race be over?

Answer:

Honestly, I don’t think Norm will ever give up this seat. He thought he won and when he lost to a comedian he wasn’t laughing.

I’m sure at this point, if people could go back and vote again he would be losing by a lot more than 300 votes due to his lack of maturity in this situation. Even Al Gore conceded after the votes in Florida were recounted.

This race could go into Fall of this year as Coleman is thinking about appealing all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.
