Norm went to Detroit to visit FORD and they kept the St Paul plant open after he left. Franken never bothered to go and it was closed.....I hope the hard core DFL left liberals speak up now about they "love" Franken, Ellison, Mccallom, Dayton, even Wellstone. speak up libs .

Was at the fair today, Norm was complaining on "patriot" that he was jobbed in the last election and it was due to voter fraud. Now, let's look at facts, the votes were counted by hand 3-4 times, anything controversial was vetted by a bipartisan crew and finally any controversy was voted on by people from both sides, including PAwlenty appointees who have gone on to work for the party post election. Norm was an incumbent running against a candidate the GOP was gleeful to run against. And he lost. Despite all the above. Which was the basic story of his career, he lost every state election he ran against an alive politician. And now he is an elder? The GOP has a lot of problems if he is the expert on winning. He is a career loser and a whiner, first class. How far the party of my youth has declined. Which is why I am an independent. Won't get fooled again.

Is he part of the Yawn Committee? He was such a boring senator, contributing to nothing while he was in office.

Norm Coleman, truly a leader and winner! Lose in '98 to Jesse, win in '02 only because of Wellstones untimely death(and even then, really only because of a really stupid rally by the DEMs at the funeral), lost in '08 to Franken, not to mention the flip flopping of party allegiances. The man has been terrible running his own campaigns, how did he become the go-to guy for the modern GOP(Tea PArty)? The man has no allegiance to anything but the changing political winds and will follow them anywhere to keep on feeding at the political teet. Winner, indeed!

Once a propoganda peddler always a propoganda peddler. Perfect for the Republican party.

That's nothing compared to the $90 million the NEA spent on Democrat campaigns in 2008. It's weird that more than 30% of their members are not Democrats. That's just one public union, not to mention the multi-millions spent by AFSME and SEIU on Democrats' campaigns.

this is why the Republican party is going nowhere in this state. We need a fresh voice. Someone, anyone. Bueller, Bueller, Bueller...

Coleman lost by less than 500 votes to Franken, which to this day is still questionable because of Minnesota's outdated election laws (MN doesn't require a 50% margin). This year the Democrats continue to promote voting without an ID so they can continue their frivilous spending that makes the deficit contiue into trillions of dollars.
