The funny thing about Coleman: the day after election day, when he had eked out a small margin of victory, claimed victory and called on Franken to concede in order to "save the taxpayers of Minnesota money". He did this despite the fact that MN election law (and any sort of commonsense understanding of statistics) prescribes a recount for such infinitesimal margins. Now that he's losing by a small margin, he clearly isn't so concerned with fiscal responsibility.
He is a douche, but he's popular with the Michelle Bachman crowd, and those dipshits apparently make up a sizable portion of the middle part of the state.
