I hadn't heard Coleman til now. Definitely NYC accent - worn off, but there. Must be the "Henry Higgins" in me to figure this out. :-)

Here's Coleman's bio information (I can personally appreciate the part about being a roadie/tech as I've done that and still do it from time to time):

-----------------------------------------------------
Norm Coleman was Mayor of Saint Paul for 8 years.

He worked in the Minnesota Attorney General's Office for 17 years as Chief Prosecutor and Solicitor General of the State of Minnesota.

Norm has two children, Jacob and Sarah, with his wife Laurie.

In Norm's younger years, he was a roady for Ten Years After, a one-hit wonder band during the 60s. Norm helped set up the stage and held the bass amp during concerts.

Norm grew up in Brooklyn, NY as one of eight kids.

Norm considers music legend Bob Dylan among one of his favorite artists.

A favorite pastime of Norm's is playing basketball with his daughter, Sarah.

While Norm is an accomplished juggler, he believes that public service is his true calling.

As mayor, Norm has been a champion of education. St. Paul was the home of the first charter school, City Academy, and subsequently more schools have been founded and flourished. -----------------------------------------

What I'd most curious to find out is how he ended up out in MN after growing up in NYC.

Not good. What other politician used to quote Bob Dylan? Yes, it was GA Jimmy who did. And I don't think GA Jimmy is going to support Coleman.
