Coleman concedes*

Norm Coleman has conceded the race for U.S. Senate to comedian and author Al Franken. earlier today, the Minnesota Supreme Court ruled that Franken won the election.

*Update: Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty says he will certify the election today. That means the only remaining hurdle to Franken's being sworn in is the Independence Day holiday. Also, a correction: For some inexplicable reason, I put "Gov." before Coleman's name in an earlier version of this post. Coleman is a former Senator.
