I am a resident of Minnesota and was a financial contributor to Coleman’s 2002 and 2008 races.
I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again.
Norm Coleman was virtually invisible during his six years in the Senate. He loved playing the “Let’s rub elbows and cut deal with each other behind closed doors” routine that exists in the Senate.
He accomplished virtually nothing of substance in his first (and likely only) term. On TV, he seemed to ooze indecision and the inability to give a straight answer to any question. Even on a conservative local radio station, he answered questions in a manner that was similiar pure vanilla pablum.
His re-election campaign was one of those “Hey, vote for me. I really can’t tell you what I’ve done but I’m definitely not Al Franken” themes.
Even given the voter fraud that many believe took place, Coleman should have beaten Franken by at least 5-10 points. Bu he didn’t. The campaign he ran was sub-par and he ought to be incredibly ashamed of himself. I hope he does not run for office ever again.
What does he hope to gain by these legal challenges? The time for him to have unleashed his legal team would have been DURING the voting process like Frankenstein.
I see that Tedisco has not made the same mistake and has been really on top of things in NY.
It is the reason that the Republicans are losers - nothing to say. Although how many many people are waiting for someone to stand up for what they once meant?
