Franken Will Wait

Even though Democrat Al Franken was certified as the winner of the Minnesota Senate recount yesterday, an election lawsuit brought on by the Sen. Norm Coleman (R-MN) is preventing Franken from receiving the certificate of election that normally serves as a candidate's final and official credential to join the Senate.

Contrary to my earlier report via the Political Wire, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) did not attempt to seat Franken today as the Senate reconvened. The drama in that body was centered mostly around Roland Burris. More on that soon.
