ST. LOUIS (AP) -- Minnesota Republican Norm Coleman is awaiting the state Supreme Court's decision on his Senate seat before deciding what to do next.
Coleman spoke Thursday to the Conservative Heartland Leadership Conference in St. Louis.
Coleman is contesting the Senate race that went to Democrat Al Franken by a few hundred votes. The Minnesota Supreme Court heard the case on Monday. A decision could come at any time.
Coleman says he isn't ruling out any options. They include a federal lawsuit, an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, or even a run for governor.
He urged Republicans to expand their base among young people, urban dwellers and new immigrants and to organize in Democratic strongholds.
He said the party needs to find ways to promote its vision more optimistically.
