Coleman(R) lighting the path to a better tomorrow for Minnesota.

WASHINGTON — Sen. Paul Wellstone's campaign is struggling, getting support from just 42 percent of Minnesota voters, according to two recent partisan polls.
On Monday, national Democrats released a poll showing Wellstone, D-Minn., narrowly leading Republican challenger Norm Coleman by 42 percent to 40 percent.
Earlier this month, national Republicans released their own poll of Minnesota voters showing Coleman ahead, 49 percent to 42 percent.
The Wellstone campaign cites a history of close races, saying this is business as usual.
But two political analysts think the results spell trouble for the senator. Here's the full article
one of many socialists in congress.
Would it be ideal to have a Senate Majority in the hands od staunch conservatives? Of course. But Coleman is going to be the Republican nominee in Minnesota. If Wellstone is going to be kicked out, Coleman will have to do it.
When the new Senate meets in January, you can be certain that Wellstone will vote against the next Judge Pickering. He will also vote against the next JUSTICE Pickering, when it comes time for Bush to make his first nomination to replace a retiring Supreme Court Justice. You can be equally sure that if Coleman is there, he will vote FOR the next Judge (or Justice) Pickering.
Vladimir Lenin would be slightly more conservative than Wellstone.
Anyone who cares about the Constitution should work hard in every contested race to get the more conservative Republican nominated. But regardless of who wins the Republican nomination, if you care about the Constitution you should support ANY Republican who is running against a vulnerable Democrat.
In plain terms, that means suck it up and support Coleman against Wellstone. That means suck it up and support Thune against Johnson in South Dakota.
Yes, I know Thune voted for Shays-Meehan. Yes, I consider Shays-Meehan an abomination, and will be attacking it in the Supreme Court. But if you want better judges on the federal benches and better Justices on the Supreme Court, you need to think it through more than you have to date.

We're there!
But this is not guaranteed. There will be an election in the House and Senate. I sincerely hope that when (not if) the Republicans take back a majority in the Senate, that they choose a vertebrate as Majority Leader. That would rule out Trent ("Notta") Lott for the job.
(Hastert is a shoe-in for reelection as Speaker of the House.)

Marking the obvious FReeper site known as the 'Cheese Well'.
"It is said that if you pass the well you should leave an offering, usually cheese - hence the name,....." {;~)
I was reading through this lengthy and lucid post, and rereading it line by line to make sure I was following it correctly and with care. As I got toward the end, I said to my self, "Self," I said, said I, "this is a damn fine analysis written by someone with more than a passing familiarity with the use of the English language."
I always save the dessert for last. So with good posts, I don't find out who wrote it (other than the inimitable styles of Iowahawk and John Huang2) until the end. Then I saw it was your work. And I said, "Why. of course."
There yu go again, using logic in the midst of a Collesium full of true-belieing lions. Well, you've survived before. You'll survive this time, too.

As previous posts have shown, Norm is not a RINO and he deserves our special support.
Jayne, after checking #51, please look at #58 too, a lot of good posts on this thread.
Here's to the defeat of one of the few Sin-ators to the left of Ted "The Swimmer" Kennedy.
Wrong!
Almost anyone would be better than Wellstone. What's a matter with you?
But what ELSE does he stand for?
His site is like going down for the third time in warm maple syrup: No SUBSTANCE!!!!
Unlike MOST candidates for public office, I've spent 30 years studying the Constitution and don't give a damn if it's a Wellstone OR a Coleman who sells me down the river.
I'm still down the river -- along with my 4 grandkids.
Why don't some of you ask Mr. Coleman if he HAS read the document (and the Notes of The Convention so he can grasp the INTENT of the drafters) BEFORE he swears an oath to God to preserve, protect and defend it.
Kinda hard if one has never -- you know -- actually READ it!
