I hope those polls hold up nationwide. If we can get Landrieu in a runoff she is toast. Right now republican loyalties are split statewide because we have 3 good candidates in the race and all are real decent people. The only one that has a prayer of beating her is a woman, Suzanne Haik-Terrell. She has the backing of the RNC Senate Committee, she is leading the other 2 and like Landrieu she is from New Orleans. Six years ago a last minute influx of votes from a couple of New Orleans precincts gave Landrieu a controversal and wafer thin majority of 5,000 votes. It will be a vicious and nasty month long fight but I believe the prospects of beating Landrieu will energize Pubbies and Terrell can hold her own.

He got the geography wrong. Peterson represents NW Minn, not southwest.

Tackling abortion. Moderator: Mondale has said he WILL vote against ANY pro-life Judge being nominated.

BABY KILLER

[aristeides]

Didn't Mondale just resign from the board of some big HMO?

[montag813]

COLEMAN Is BLOWING THIS DEBATE. He is toast. Mondale is attacking mercilessly and Coleman is holding back, seems afraid to smash Mondale's absurd record. Mondale has been well-prepped. If Coleman can not get Mondale off-message, he will lose.

See post #191. Talking about judicial litmus tests now.

[Wphile]

In Minnesota, are they showing the debate or are they showing Ventura?

Seems pretty low to be to have Ventura upstage the debate. But then, this is Jesse Ventura...

[KeatsforFirstDog]

Coleman is so quick on the ball to respond to questions...and his answers are so coherent!

Women?? who brought abortion into this???

[frmrda]

I agree

[Darlin']

Thanks for the ping :)

[section9]

Excuse me, I think Coleman is doing quite well.

Be Seeing You,

Chris

[Otta B Sleepin]

Coleman doesn't think there should be a litmus test....same consideration for Rep or Dem president. says this is example of the partisanship divide.

[montag813]

If it's Dean Barkley, I believe he was the Independence Party candidate for senator--Mark Dayton's race, I do believe.

So much for his "non-political" candidate.

[LisaFab]

Mondale LYING about the Constitution! Coleman CAN'T bash the old geezer or he'll be fried by the media. Mondale sounds old and bitter.

[maryz]

who is Dean Barkley??

According to Jesse, Barkley ran for Senate as an Independent some time ago and got more than 5%, which qualified the party in Minnesota.

[Howlin]

His answer about this Senate confirming more judges than anybody...........wrong.

[concerned about politics]

who brought abortion into this???

Mondale. Judges MUST support it.

[Johnny Gage]

Mondale the LIAR: "This senate has confirmed more judges that the republican senate did under past admin."

[rintense]

OMG! Mondale is basically reading the DNC talking points regarding judicial nominees!

Coleman is doing good. Mondale is so completely lost, it's unreal. I hope Minnesotans see through this.
