It is an intention tremor, caused by the arterioles on the left side of the brain..nothing major there..

Mondale is doing a Hell of alot better than I ever would have predicted...

[RCW2001]

So far...Mondale is doing ok. Thats all he has to do is 'ok'. Mondale wins tomorrow... :/

[jwalsh07]

Coleman should go for the jugular.

IRANIAN HOSTAGES NORM

[Otta B Sleepin]

Mondale just called him "Norman." wants the Security Council with us so we'll be in a position of strength

[KsSunflower]

Did Mondale just call him, "....Norman.."??

[alisasny]

Can we annex Minn. to Canada if Mondale wins? Really, if they elect this old has been then they get what they deserve.

Good Luck Coleman, I would vote for you if I could.

[isthisnickcool]

Mondale thinks he is "Mr. Wilson" and Coleman is "Dennis The Menance".

[Mo1]

Mondale says he has experience in diplomacy .. YEA RIGHT


Now he brings up North Korea

[Nam Vet]

Mondale: " I've had experience in diplomacy."

That's for sure, and he was an utter failure.

[Howlin]

He's like Mr. Wilson in Dennis the Menace!

[LisaFab]

Finger-pointing, lecturing - all part of the role-playing.

ROTFLMAO! Mondale is now saying he has FOREIGN POLICY EXPERIENCE!!!! Anybody here over the age of 35 has to be in hysterics right now!

[Catspaw]

Norm's got a noon rally with Rudy, and both have appearances throughout the day.

OMG, Mondale just called Norm "NORMAN" like he would say to an errant school boy. My, God, how condescending.

[The Iron Duke]

During the Depression, far left wingers in the Farmer-Labor party in Minnesota made inroads in state elections, taking a lot of votes away from the Democrats. After WWII, Hubert Humprhey worked to consolidate the two parties. It was a tough job that took several election cycles. He had to kick the hard core communists out of the Farmer-Labor party to make it work and they did not go gently. At one point, Humphrey had to walk out of his own convention.

Humphrey made his national reputation on this. But after he died, the splits have opened up again as the far left wing has come to the dominate the state DFL. Both Coleman and former Blue Dog Democrat Congressman Tim Penny would have been able to work with the likes of Humphrey. Neither could work with the likes of the people in Wellstone's camp.

[Johnny Gage]

Mondale just called Coleman... NORMAN?

What kinda of two-bit condescending "naughty little boy" talk is that.

[rintense]

Coleman was exactly right about negotiating from a position of weakness. Mondale now parsing words between 'may have' nuclear weapons.

[bigaln2]

He brings up North Korea...Gee, wasn't it HIS President who gave them the nukes? (at least indirectly)

[McGruff]

Mondale: IRAQ does not have nuclear weapons.

This morning, someone called into FOX and said he's been diagnosed with early alzheimers.

[jwalsh07]

So far...Mondale is doing ok. Thats all he has to do is 'ok'. Mondale wins tomorrow... :/

Go away.

[rs79bm]

Yes, more importantly, he's the frontrunner.
