Here is an update on Norm from the Washington Times:

Sen. Norm Coleman, Minnesota Republican, said he plans to vote to proceed with the debate, but expects another 60-vote showdown on another parliamentary maneuver, known as a "point of order." Mr. Coleman said if the bill is not changed to his liking by then, he could join in voting to block it.

Norm got my phone call, then ;-) I told him I was a former MN and wanted to be proud of my former state and its people. I told him he'd done so much good with the UN and not to throw it all away with this vote. I also said GO VIKES...

I think THAT got to him. I think I need to call him again though ;-)

Colemen needs some serious heat applied. Maybe then he will see the light.
