Minnesota's lone U.S. Senator says she's out or predictions and almost out of patience when it comes to a resolution in the Franken-Coleman contest.

During a unrelated news event today in St. Louis Park, Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., told reporters that she hopes the unresolved Senate election will be resolved soon.

"I have predicted the 4th of July, when the corn is knee high on the 4th of July," Klobuchar said. "I've already predicted that it would be done when the ice melted on Lake Minnetonka. That was incorrect. And I've now predicted the 4th of July. And if that is incorrect I will make no more predictions. I'll just be mad."

The Minnesota Supreme Court is considering Norm Coleman's appeal of a lower court ruling that Al Franken won the election.
