“...Norm let them steal it...”
To some degree, that’s true. But Coleman’s biggest problem was that he was all but invisible in his six years in the Senate. I could tell you Tom Coburn or Jim DeMint were doing - but never with Coleman. His six years in the Senate were relatively free of much legislative accomplishment.
Coleman didn’t seem to come back to the state much for photo ops. OTOH, Amy Klobuchar was always in the state campaigning. You couldn’t miss her at a local event. The voting public, like it or not, remembers that kind of stuff.
Lastly, Coleman’s re-election campaign was really slow and in-effective. His whole campaign theme seemed to be “Vote for me - I’m Not Al Franken”. He had nothing to run on.
In short, had Coleman made use of his six years in the Senate and actually bothered to run a credible re-election campaign, he would have won hands down and no amount of DFL voter fraud would have changed that.
Won’t even be close.
Have you seen McFadden’s ads on TV?
Thank you... That is the only explanation that I have gotten since we were asked to support him that has made any sense.
I hope things work out for McDaniel.
