Coleman to Contest Election

After listening to the coverage on MPR

I see that Coleman has decided to contest the election. Although this is completely in his right (up to 7 days after canvas board certification) this doesn't seem to be a very good political move. His chances of overturning the decisions in his favor are pretty small and even if he gets both decisions in his favor, he wold have a large deficit to over come. having votes be in his favor 2 to 1. There is not much room to gain those votes.
It will be very hard for him to win this election, and even harder for him to serve again without skepticism. It will be good to see what the lawsuit decisions to do the race, but frankly from what I have heard Minnesotans are sick of this race and want a quick conclusion to it. If Coleman decides to draw out the seating of Al Franken, it will most certainly be to the decrement of his political future.
