Al Franken yesterday won a victory in the Minnesota Supreme Court in his long battle to be declared the winner of the closely fought Minnesota Senate race with Republican Norm Coleman. The Court victory prompted the incumbent Coleman to concede, and Governor Tim Pawlenty signed the documents necessary to certify Franken as the victor. And while the media has made a big deal out of the fact that Franken gives the Democratic caucus sixty votes that factoid is likely to be less important that the hype surrounding the magic sixty number. Both Senators Kennedy and Byrd have been out of the Senate for extended periods with illness, and I just do not see Democratic cohesion to the extent that the hype would have you believe. That sixty member caucus will likely disagree over the luncheon menu for their next meeting, and their divergent views on health care should illustrate that point.
