UPDATED!  With pictures

Almost eight months after election day, the U.S. Senate race is finally coming to a close. Saying that the Minnesota Supreme Court was "the only court who fully considered" his case, Norm Coleman has conceded and is recognizing his Democratic opponent, Al Franken, as the winner and Senator-elect.

Norm met the press with his daughter at his side.  No signs of Laurie or his son.

More after the break.

Joe Bodell :: It's over: Coleman concedes!
We won't have Norm's enormous teeth to make fun of anymore.

The press gaggle.

I admit I did not expect Norm (0.00 / 0)
to have the class (that's 'class' in a very, very relative sense - relative to his previous behavior) to concede.  I wonder if it was a decision made by a number of Republican players, to avoid T-Paw having to risk another in-state approval hit by potentially refusing to sign.
  I didn't see Laurie at the news conference.

Do you righteous people, here, (0.00 / 0)
have any kind of on-line ceremony planned, for when the 'Norm Coleman Weasel Meter' comes down?

Battle won, war not over (0.00 / 0)
We still have Norm for Guv, Norm as Political Commentator and Norm rewriting history to contend with. If we don't keep the history and keep the pressure, then Norm could get a fresh new image just like he got the new shinier teeth.

Right on! (0.00 / 0)
Speaking of Norm for governor, or in any other public capacity, I didn't see/hear the phrase 'FBI investigations' on any newscasts.

Pawlenty Gets Free Ride (0.00 / 0)
Pawlenty would have been in trouble if Norm had gone to the supreme court. He would lost political opinion no matter what he did.
