Coleman Concedes
Okay, this surprised me. I didn't expect it at all.
Of course, there are other theories...

Mr. Coleman stepped outside his home just a short while ago to give his news conference. He indicated that he and Mr. Franken had a positive, personal talk and he told the Democrat that being senator was the “best job he’ll ever have.”Guessing either Pawlenty told the GOP he wasn't going to buck the polls and intended to certify or else the RNC decided they sank enough millions into a losing battle.
The Republican’s statement began this way: “Ours is a government of laws, not men and women. The Supreme Court of Minnesota has spoken and I respect its decision and will abide by the result. It’s time for Minnesota to come together under the leaders it has chosen and move forward. I join all Minnesotans in congratulating our newest United States Senator – Al Franken.”
Of course, there are other theories...

Coleman's negative's can be eroded by the time the Minnesota governor's race comes around.
The public might forget that Pawlenty has taken Minnesota from a 600 million dollar surplus to a 5-1/2 billion dollar debt, by the time he has to run for President.
I think both of these guys will be in politics for a while.
Pawlenty will be fine. He's played it very cagey, staying out of the fray from what I can see. But Coleman is done in public office, IMO. I'm guessing he's on his way to K Street in the not too distant future.
With that haircut, he'd do fine on Sesame Street too.
LOL Fogg.
