Norm in exile |
2009-01-09 |
Sarah Abruzzese reports on the pathos of Norm's senatorial exile:The lights are on in Sen. Norm Coleman's office but no one's home.We encountered a disconsolate-looking Coleman near a Senate elevator bank accepting back-slaps and handshakes from fellow Republicans John Cornyn (R-Texas) and Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.). |

#9 And why should he be anything other than another smelly tourist? |

#8 Sorry, Coleman's being a wuss. He didn't fight Franken for the disputed ballots but acted like the commission would "do the right thing." He didn't take any action to protect his own property in his office when it was obvious he would be thrown out. The trunks are in trouble because they send so many girly men who aren't ready to go bare knuckles with the donks. |

#7 Good article over at Americanthinker.com today. Coleman led committee that investigated/exposed UN Food-for-oil scheme. Soros inside man, Mark Mulloch Brown has been outed by Coleman. Soros took out his revenge by pouring big bucks into Frankens campaign.. Brown may still get appointed next Head of World Bank with Obama influence. |

#6 So does this mean that if Coleman visits DC he will just be another 'smelly tourist?' |

#5 Folks, Coleman got hit by the same tsunami that a lot of other Pubs got hit with on Election Day. Much as I dislike Bambi, I'll give him credit: his campaign's get out the vote drive is the most impressive in American political history, and all those voters filled in the rest of their ballots for the D's. As evidence: Georgia. When Saxby Chambliss didn't get 50% he had to face Jim Martin in the run-off. No Obama GOTV machine that time, and Chambliss won handily. Franken benefited from the Obama machine, it's that simple. This race shouldn't have been close and if the Dems had nominated the Hildebeast, it wouldn't have been. |

#4 they probably got the ultra corrupt but smooth as silk Dems from Western Washington to do their recounting for them |

#3 What turned that around? 'Selective Elimination' of absentee ballots, improperly marked ballots (Coleman's 'square' not completely filled in) and ballots from counties that would go "R" by the (Democrat run) State Elections Board . Oh, and counting ballots from "Blue" districts at least twice, 'just to get it right'. Did I leave anything out? |

#2 I doubt if Coleman will change the count for the better in Minn, but this is his own fault. He choose to be a wishy washy conservative and now a former Err America host is a Senator. Minnesota isn't that liberal, just look at the Govenor and Fankenfurter trailed him from the begining. What turned that around? |
