DescriptionSen. John Cornyn (R-Texas), the incoming chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, has some fighting words for Al Franken: The Minnesota Senate race is far from over.

In a statement released this afternoon, Cornyn accused the Franken campaign of promoting "chaos and disorder" in the ongoing recount and called Franken's current 50-vote lead over Sen. Norm Coleman "artificial."

His fighting comments suggest that Coleman will have the full backing of national Republicans as his campaign prepares to challenge the results of the election in court. Franken currently leads Coleman by 50 votes, with some 1,300 mistakenly rejected absentee ballots left to be counted.
