I am beginning to see why Coleman lost to the clown.

Norm Coleman???

NORM COLEMAN???

Isn’t he the imcumbant candidate who lost his seat to AL FRANKEN????

I sure would NOT have him for an advisor!!!!

Another example of Tone-deaf Romney!

If so, it’s a so-called “Kinsley Gaffe”: when a politician messes up by accidentally telling the truth.

I remain puzzled as to why even a moderate, let alone a conservative, would not simply say “Let’s start over.”

I can’t go that far. This was a boneheaded comment by Coleman (... accidentally telling the TRUTH?), but he likely lost to Franken only due to voter fraud — and in The Mondale State, to boot. Frankly I’m amazed any Republican can get elected to statewide office there in the first place.
