I wonder how much of this is the RNC finally realizing that they are shooting themselves in the foot by this obstruction, and need to keep a black mark off of Pawlenty, who, by process of elimination, might be the nominee in 2012.UNHWildCats wrote:Coleman has conceded and wont challenge the election any further
Probably a mixture of that and an announcement in the next month or so by Coleman that he is running for Governor... He may have already damaged himself too much with the fight, but if he kept it going he would have definitely damaged himself as a viable candidate.dbackjon wrote:I wonder how much of this is the RNC finally realizing that they are shooting themselves in the foot by this obstruction, and need to keep a black mark off of Pawlenty, who, by process of elimination, might be the nominee in 2012.UNHWildCats wrote:Coleman has conceded and wont challenge the election any further
I would think that they're both already damaged. The question is how much? Just losing to Franken cost Coleman some capital and then dragging it out hurt him a lot more in Minnesoat. Nationally, this might not hurt Pawlenty with the GOP base but it will create second thoughts for moderate independents if he gets that far.UNHWildCats wrote:Probably a mixture of that and an announcement in the next month or so by Coleman that he is running for Governor...

Democrats in anticipation of his eventual win had placed temporary members on the committees.
