Morning Edition’s Cathy Wurzer talks with political reporter Mark Zdechlik as voting results come in showing Minnesotans have apparently sent Republican Norm Coleman to the U.S. Senate, rejecting calls to honor Sen. Paul Wellstone's memory by putting Democrat Walter Mondale in his seat.

Neither of the candidates have commented yet Wednesday morning, but the DFLers have scheduled a 9AM appearance. Coleman's lead over Mondale remains at a few percentage points (50% to 48%) as the last precincts are still reporting their votes.
