The fact that Coleman is in the dire situation he's in says a lot about his re-election efforts. Forget about Franken stealing the election for a second. Coleman barely beat Franken by dozens of votes. I mean a guy like Franken challenges a popular incumbent Senator and nearly wins.

Coleman's problem - and it's a reason why Gordon Smith & Jim Talent lost their races - is that they bragged about how they worked with Democrats and that they were "bipartisan." Yeah, that bipartisanship is really working out well for you right Coleman.

Yes, if your claim to fame in the Senate is that you can get along with Democrat, then that just tells your state that they are better off choosing a Democrat.

Even when they were in the majority, Republicans were focused on getting along with Democrats. Even when Republicans were tied with the advantage of the VP vote, they agreed to share power with Demcrats.

What did the polls before the election predict for this race? Was it supposed to be close?
