8. He will have to concede if he hopes
to be RNC Chairman. Now that rumor must be delighting the other candidates. :popcorn:

4. If he doesn't concede and at least act like he's not a weasel
then he will go down in history as the biggest "sore loserman" ever.

6. Norm should take the advice
he gave to Franken. Concede.

Of course Franken couldn't really concede since the recount was automatic. So Norm really doesn't have much justification to keep this going.

7. If he doesn't concede and spends all his cash on lawyers..
He's not going to be able to maintain his extensive dental work.

Just something to think about Normie. ;)

10. I suspect he will concede
He knows he hasn't a chance in Hell of winning on this one and he doesn't have the money to push it..He will try for greener pastures...and Franken will be Senator within a week.

11. I think he'll concede this afternoon...
To do otherwise would be foolish.

12. He has achieved one of his goals..
By being obstinate, he managed to take the historical "first day" festivities from Al..

If Coleman's got a brain, he'll concede and get on with his life..

but he IS a republican, so.....
