(CNN) -- Minnesota's Supreme Court has dismissed former Sen. Norm Coleman's challenge to the state's November election results and declared Democratic challenger Al Franken the winner.
Minnesota's Supreme Court ruled that Democrat Al Franken won the Minnesota Senate race.
The court's unanimous, unsigned opinion declared that Franken "received the highest number of votes legally cast" and is entitled "to receive the certificate of election as United States senator from the state of Minnesota."
Hillary 2.0 - Al Franken?
"A number of people have told me to study the Hillary model of being a senator," Franken said after they met last February. "Put your head down and do the work."
Franken appears determined to establish credibility as a serious lawmaker. No acerbic wit. No bombastic attacks on conservatives.

I've decided to trust in Cal and give the guy a chance. He's not female, therefore most definatley not in the Partizane mold of candidates this site will unofficially support. But i liked his take on the Lying liars and I like that he seems to be embracing the habits of the best Senator I've seen in many many years.
