Coleman lost to Ventura because of Dean Barkley, a disgruntled former Republican who ran as an Indy and sucked 11% from Coleman along with Minnesota’s idiotic same day voter registration law that got Minnesota’s yutes to vote for him late in the campaign after some freakshow debate Jesse put on.
We all know how the Stuart Smalley thing worked out. Who finds uncounted ballots in the trunk of a car? DFLers do.
So in other words, Coleman couldn’t get over the margin of fraud.
Still that is pretty lame.
