How Franken and Coleman each wait for the ruling
Most days, Norm Coleman reports to work as an adviser to the Republican Jewish Coalition. He also attends meetings, makes speeches, stays in touch with former Senate colleagues, squeezes in a little fishing up at his lake cabin. And he waits.
Most days, Al Franken dives into briefing books and tries to get up to speed on everything from the biggest issues of the day to the most arcane of Senate rules. He gets more time to cook with his family, hang out with friends, indulge in his passion for reading. But mostly, he, too, waits.
Of course this gives us some insight on how each man thinks the ruling will come out. But I wonder if we can extrapolate our inference from these actions to judge if Coleman will appeal or not. I mean, would Norm really be going up to Backus to fish if he was expecting to appeal to the Supreme Court, knowing that the state ruling should come any day?
