On the other hand, when Norm Coleman got in all I thought was 'Another Republican, that's all I care about," but every time I've seen him on TV talking I've thought "Hey, I LIKE this guy." Last night on Chris Matthews he was so refreshingly straightforward. Without being rude or reading from RNC talking points he put Matthews in his place and didn't run from straight answers.
The MSM try to create stars according to their arcane demographic codes, but the real stars are the ones people simply respond to; Coleman is "just" another white dude, but he's earned points with me for his INDIVIDUALITY--something "superstar" Obama has yet to do.
I completely agree with your post about Norm Coleman; he has been so impressive in such a short time and he stands head and shoulders above so many others newly in office. If only the media would focus on this incredible "go-getter" superstar of the GOP who has already DONE things in office, instead of re-treading tired old DNC themes dressed up as something else to fool voters (Hackett and Obama).
I'm daydreaming again of a FAIR media, which just isn't going to happen.
