With the legal battle taking place in the race for the U.S. Senate in Alaska between Joe Miller and his joke of an opponent, Senator Lisa Murkowski, it shouldn't come as a surprise that a former U.S. Senator with a similar experience put his two cents in the debate.
Former Senator Norm Coleman of Minnesota, who lost nearly eighteen months years ago in a contentious race for re-election with another joke, Al Franken, spoke on C-SPAN recently (his appearance is supposed to air this coming Sunday), in which he says Mr. Miller should just give up, believing all of the votes have been counted, resulting in Senator Murkowski's re-election, and isn't worth the legal battle.
With respect to Senator Coleman, there is no guarantee Lisa Murkowski has the majority of the votes (among other things). And more importantly, the legal battle is about ensuring the votes are properly counted, with those votes which don't follow the requirements established by law in Alaska be disqualified.
Much like the legal battle in Minnesota last year, this legal battle in Alaska needs to be fought.
