“From the Halls of Montezuma to the SHORES OF TRIPOLI.”[Libya]

Although I have seen the halls of, and the tomb of Montezuma, several times, I saw on the internet a couple of days ago, that I have not been to the exact spot to which the American Marines Hymn refers. [Close, but no cigar.]

According to my computer, it’s 4:01 pm [Central], which means that it is 10:01 pm [in Algiers].

Swiftee: “I must have missed MNPublius’ breaking story regarding the impending retirement of Senator Coleman.”
———————–
Perhaps. The headline appeared at about 1:00 p.m.
Your posts to me on this thread were at 12:29 pm, 12:41, & 3:22 [according to the times now listed on MDE and on MnPublius.

My post here about Schriock was at about 1:02 pm, [according to the times now listed on MDE].

Say, “el p”?

Where do you think Stephanie Schriock will come down on loosening those captives?

Do you think she can save Angry Al’s losing campaign?

I have to point out, “el p” that it really doesn’t need to spend much time worrying about Chestnut, D, or myself.

It’s Mike Brodkorb that has set her boss’s hair on fire.

I must have missed MNPublius’ breaking story regarding the impending retirement of Senator Coleman.

I’ve heard that 3M was recently forced to do away with it’s pension plan and now compensates it’s employees via a 401K plan. Of course Norm wouldn’t have to worry about stuff like that, government employees still recieve a very generous pension.

[...] keeping score at home, this is Team Franken’s second or third campaign manager. Both Andy Barr and David Benson have been cited as the “campaign manager” of Team [...]

A MnPublius headline also states Norm Coleman will be joining Conrad Burns in retirement.

Perhaps Stephanie Schriock doesn’t especially like the posts of: Chestnut, D, Swiftee, MBB, etc.

Wow! He’s changed his top staff almost as much as Michele Bachmann.

Stephanie Schriock is Al’s new campaign manager according to MnPublius. [MnPublius isn't in my social circle and it's not up on MDE.]

You know, “el p”, I’ve heard some people suggest that Angry Al is losing the confidence of even his most obtuse supporters.

Have you heard anything like that in your social circles?

“and/or a loosing loosing campaign.”

Say, “el P”?

Is Angry Al running a tight campaign that needs loosening or is Andy Barr freeing the captives?

[loosing=loose + ing]

3M makes a very handy product that allows you to mount a picture on the wall, then turn the hanger loose if you want to move it.

Hey pres…put down the bong…m’kay?

Why do you replace (aka ‘fire’) a campaign manager? Its not because you are WINNING. You don’t fire a guy who is helping you WIN.

Angry Al apparently saw some internal polling number and decided to fire the captain of his sinking ship.

D: “A winning…Angry Al campaign…is sinking fast…They think…a new captain…will work…It never does.”
——————————-
D writes it is a sinking winning campaign; others MDE-sympathizing regulars have more or less written that it is a loosing winning campaign, and/or a loosing loosing campaign.

The Franken supporters would probably write that it is a winning winning campaign.

Perhaps this is all just part of what to expect in a NormAl [NORM + AL] Campaign.

A winning campaign doesn’t fire its head without a reason. The Angry Al campaign has hit an iceberg and is sinking fast. They think hiring a new captain for the sinking ship will work. It never does.
