* Palin's Attorney General rejected by GOP Alaska legislature. Ross, a well-known figure in Alaska politics and a current director of the National Rifle Association, has made some controversial remarks in the past, including calling gays "degenerates" and saying it is all right for a man to rape his wife. Someone else compares Palin to Jesse Jackson: popular to a core, completely unelectable.
* Although Coleman, who was ahead on election night, then asked Franken to concede for the good of the people of Minnesota, it is expected that he will not concede. Instead he will probably appeal to the Minnesota Supreme Court. If he loses that case, he may appeal to the federal courts. It's widely thought the GOP is backing Coleman just to keep a Democrat out of the Senate for longer. Wouldn't want the Minnesota voters to be represented or anything.
** Lemons from lemonade: Raise money for the Progressive Change Campaign Committee until Coleman goes away.
