Congratulations to Al Franken

Al Franken won the election as senator from Minnesota, the Minnisota Supreme Court ruled today.  The court stated:  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."

His opponent, Norm Coleman,  has conceded defeat, ending the legal challenges to Franken's election. 

Franken's election means the Democrats have, in theory, a filibuster-proof hold on the Senate.  

This is kind of like finally getting that present you were promised, 8 months after your birthday.
