Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty (R) said on CNN yesterday that he would sign an election certification declaring Al Franken (D) the winner if Norm Coleman (R) loses his court challenge.
Said Pawlenty: "We expect that ruling any day now. I also expect them to give guidance and direction as to the certificate of election. I'm prepared to sign it as soon as they give the green light... I'm not going to defy an order of the Minnesota Supreme Court. That would be a dereliction of my duty."
