   Dear Mr. Carlson,

   Say what you will about Senator Coleman’s status as a canidate, or how he, his team and the Republican party collectively bungled the campaign and the post campaign process, but to criticize him for following the legal process as established by the state legislative body is simply, well, ilogical and nonsensical. You’re attacking a symptom and not the cause; an excuse for you to attack the Republican party.

   What’s broke the system, the system established by politicans, in which it took eight months to reslove the election dispute. A system which creates an environment for election shenigans. Republicans need to get better at the game and learn to win and not simply concede.

   Carlson had to break with the Republicans because he has something they just cannot tolerate: a shred of honesty.
