So why isn't Coleman campaigning in Minnesota? Because his opponent croaked, he has nothing to say?
Couldn't he lead with "Paul Wellstone would have wanted us to get back to those issues he cared about, so here's my positions . . . . ."?
Is he going to let the 'Rats run out the clock until Thursday, then hear Mondull say "Gee, I'm just in the race; there really isn't time to debate."? 'Cause that's exactly what they're planning to do.
Will he be silent until 4 days before the election, then let the 'Rats win by default?
Enough questions. The answer is "yep".
This ain't '94.

No 1. I believe (and hope and pray) Coleman would come out swinging by Wednesday, right after Wellstone's funeral. Retooling his campaign in the wake of the death is not something that takes a second, y'know.
No. 2. Keep your chin up. It may not be 1994. But we can make it pretty damn near close. Bring three other people with you to the polls ... and make a difference. Because, with all due respect, if you're not going to help out, then get out of the way ...

I came to WV to help Jay Wolfe because I believed that this race could end up being the deciding factor in who controls the US Senate in 2003.
Taylor surrendered in MT.
The Dems pulled a fast one in NJ that makes a mockery of the rule of law.
The Dems in AR have managed to imperil the GOP nominee simply because of a divorce and remarriage (how quaint from the party of ultimate corruption!).
Wellstone pulled a fast one by dying, and Coleman is in danger of blowing a sure thing by making the same mistake as our friend John Ashcroft did in 2000...being nice to people who would never in a million years dream of being nice.
Sununu in NH and Ganske in IA are running less than stellar campaigns, to be nice about it.
So, I would say that it will be the ultimate in delicious irony if this almost purely grassroots campaign, run on conservative issues, should happen to be the one that ended the Daschle reign of terror.
