I really don’t care to debate his meager accomplishments, let’s leave it that he is not meeting my expectations for senatorial leadership and he works for a party that has lost its way.

But, let’s say he wins the recount and goes back to Washington…to what future?
–will he walk the talk that he parroted in the campaign, reaching across the aisle to get things done for the country? What is your confidence level he will play a key role in anything meaningful in the next 6 years? What is your confidence level he will survive the ethic investigation that must come? Durenburger was taken down for less than what Norm is involved in, this is not Larry Craig wide-stancing restroom behaviour, is it.

I don’t recall trying to personally convince you (or anyone) to vote for Norm Coleman. I didn’t realize this was your blog and that comments went to you personally.
There were Republicans in the state house that went Democrat, and several congressional and Senate races accross the country that went Democrat. Funny you point to Michelle Bachman winning, because many of my friends on the left insisit it was the third party candidate that gave Bachman the election.
Coleman has represented Minnesota by working to keep the Ford plant open, farm and rural issues, medicare, the right side of taxes and defense. He was a great leader in St Paul, and has been a good Senator representing Minnesota.
Once again my argument which is not baseless is that a DFLer should have been able to do better in a state where Obama won by 8 points, especially after the phony lawsuit against Coleman was made public days before an election. I am sorry the DFL chose the only guy that could lose.

Waiting…
Carpetbagger Kline made it…Batshit Bachmann made it…Pack it in Paulsen made it in replacing Ramsted….hmmmmmm, who might be the only MN incumbent who is at risk…oh, yeah, your guy Coleman, the standup guy who couldn’t win cleanly in the state where even hide-in-the-bushes Bachmann won.

You might not like Franken, but seriously, do you have any respect for how Coleman has represented you…based on what, might I ask, because I don’t see it based on anything in his record.

It is a free country, feel free to vote for Coleman, but don’t waste my time with your cheerleading. He is a tool, at best the better of two evils…and that is only if I shrug and walk away from your baseless arguments because it is not worth my time.
