I wonder how long Norm Coleman can keep up the charade without conceding. He must know that we are waiting for him with pitchforks and torches, so all the bluster must have more to do with maintaining the bipartisan consensus in the Senate that the Democrats rule in name but Republicans get what they want. (In that regard, I saw a headline today that nearly voided my bladder for me. It’s an exercise for the reader to identify the headline.)

The amazing thing is that Harry Reid was once a young pugilist. On the other hand, maybe now the pieces fit together.
