Minneapolis Star Tribune:
Former Republican Gov. Arne Carlson said today that Norm Coleman should consider bowing out of the U.S. Senate election dispute.
"I don't think it's winnable," said Carlson, who served from 1991-99.
He said a court fight by Coleman contesting a recount that favors Democrat Al Franken could hurt the Republican's image.
Addendum: Gratuitous namedropping Alert: Last spring, I was at a party hosted by Arianna Huffington (no, I didn't crash; I was invited) and met Al Franken and wished him good luck in the Senate race.
