DNC Radio Ad: For Coleman, "It Is Time To Concede"
The Democratic National Committee is airing a new radio ad in Minneapolis/St. Paul suggesting that Republican Norm Coleman concede the Senate race. Coleman's team has pledged to take the matter to court. But today, the DNC in a statement said that Coleman "continues to put his political ambition ahead of what's right for Minnesotans who deserve full representation in the U.S. Senate" and that Democrat Al Franken, who leads by 312 votes, deserves to be certified.
Here's the ad script:
The November 4, 2008 election was conducted fairly, impartially, and accurately.Franken received the highest number of lawfully cast ballots in the November 4, 2008 general election for United States Senator for the State of Minnesota and is entitled to receive the certificate of election.
That's what a three judge panel said when it declared Al Franken the winner of the U.S. Senate race.
Franken won the election in November, he won the recount and now he has won a legal challenge filed by Norm Coleman.
Yet Coleman, and national Republicans who want to thwart the will of the voters, have vowed to file more appeals and hopeless legal challenges that will only result in more delay.
Enough is enough. America is in an economic crisis - and Minnesota faces unique challenges of its own.
Minnesota deserves two Senators and voters deserve to have their verdict stand without delay.
Call Norm Coleman at 651-645-0766. Tell him that it is time to concede.
Tell Norm Coleman to stop putting his political ambition ahead of what is right for Minnesota.
