One can only marvel at the shameless hypocrisy of Norm Coleman. Back in November, when he thought he was leading the Minnesota senate race by 475 votes, Coleman urged his Democratic opponent Al Franken to concede.
"It's up to him whether such a step is worth the tax dollars it will take to conduct," Coleman said, telling reporters he would "step back" if he were in Franken's position.Sadly for Coleman, an automatic recount confirmed Franken as the narrow winner, after which he developed a curious case of amnesia for his own advice. Today Coleman's legal challenge to Franken's win entered it's 10th day. He has paid his lawyers nearly $190,000 so far. He may try to subpoena all 11,000 rejected ballots for judges to review. And why is he doing all of this?
[Coleman] told a conservative radio audience that “God wants me to serve".O-kaaaaay. Yet for all his desperate stonewalling, he may be falling even further behind. All of which begs the question: Why does God hate Norm Coleman?

God doesn't hate Norm Coleman. It's just not in God's plan for Norm to continue being the Senator. Unfortunately, Norm didn't get God's memo.
I can't believe that this jackass held Paul Wellstone's seat. What a drop in calibre for Minnesota. I think Coleman's just hoping to keep this thing tied up in court so long that a new election is called.
Perhaps he misunderstood God - maybe God meant serve meals to the poor, help the homeless or something substantial like that.
I prefer to think that God meant something more along the lines of "would you like fries with that" kind of serving.
MD - I don't think another election is going to be called. Likely, at some point, the judges will respond to public sentiment for this thing to be over. In the meantime I think Franken and his legal team have enough savvy to ensure that their interests are not subverted by Team Coleman.

The 17th Brigade was an infantry brigade in the Australian Army. First formed in 1917 during World War I, it did not see any action. Reformed during World War II it took part in fighting in Libya, Greece and New Guinea before being disbanded in 1946. Today, its name is perpetuated by the 17th Combat Service Support Brigade, which was raised as a logistics formation in May 2006.
