Nearly eight months after voters went to the polls, the Minnesota
Senate race has finally yielded a winner: Democrat Al Franken.
Republican Norm Coleman conceded his loss in a press conference
Tuesday afternoon, saying he has called to congratulate the former
comedian on his victory. His statement came after the Minnesota
Supreme Court unanimously rejected his appeal of a lower court
ruling in Franken's favor.
"The Supreme Court of Minnesota has spoken," Coleman said.
"I respect its decision and will abide by its result."
