Why?
He's proved himself to be a spinless wimp that stood and watched"...me, Al Franken..." steal his senate seat from him in broad daylight.
There's just no fight in Coleman.
Why?
I'm not an expert on Minnesota politics, but I'd guess that Coleman is one of the few Republicans who could win a statewide race for senator there. And he'd sure beat the heck out of any Dim who might wind up in the seat.
Ummm... you have it backwards.
Coleman fought to the bitter end for MONTHES AFTER the election and REFUSED to accept Franken's fraudulent win, until the RAT controlled Minnesota Supreme Court anointed Franken the "winner" and ordered Franken be seated.
Numerous purists on this board, however, stabbed Coleman in the back, wouldn't lift a finger to help him during the contested election, and said Coleman "deserves to lose" because he is a "RINO". Apprently he didn't vote the way they wanted on some gun bill or something, so they were happy to let a deranged Marxist scumbag steal the seat to "teach the GOPE a lesson"
Interesting history revisionism going on here.
