Norm Coleman (Republican, Minnesota)
1
This is a classic case of the politician who can imagine doing nothing else. Before the election, he was willing to take any stand that would help him get elected. After the election, he sank his teeth into the prize and refused to let go. People complained about Gore holding out for a few weeks, but Coleman is still going strong almost six months after the election. Despite every court hearing having gone against him, Coleman keeps holding press conferences promising eventual victory. He's said that he may appeal a June hearing that is supposed to be the final verdict on the issue. Sorry, man, somebody has to lose, and in this case you're it. Time to be a man and admit defeat.
