I think the debate without Mondale is going to substantially boost the vote for the Indy and Green candidates, who will be there. Coleman, if he's smart, will debate in a way that will boost the votes for those two.

Good post, and you are right. Rest assured that Coleman is receiving and deploying excellent political judgment from Karl Rove and the NRSC.

Coleman is with Cheney today; Saturday with Laura Bush; Sunday with the President; and Monday with Rudy Guiliani. Heavy hitters.

If he doesn't, ad he loses his consultants should be banned from party work for life.
