The Coleman campaign’s hysteria over one of the most mundane ads I’ve ever seen is proof of how terrified they are to discuss the issues.

Since when does using someone's voting record in the Senate make it an attack ad? Those Rasmussen numbers must really have Norm Inc. scared, because they are making all sorts of uncharacteristic mistakes in an effort to right the ship. Yeah.

I would have failed it too (eye sight). Why does that make him more or less qualified for the Senate? That's even worse than saying Al is unqualified for Senate because he once was a satirist.

That's why they've sent Wellstone and Dayton to Washington to embarrass the state. That's why they've endorsed Al Franken of all people to challenge Norm Coleman. (For the record, I'm no Coleman supporter, despite my chosen screen name.) That's why at a time of $4 per gallon gas, they vote (twice: SF 2521 & override) to increase taxes of all sorts (sales, gas, license tabs) that hits their [alleged] lower-income and middle-class voting base the hardest. That's why they stand idly by and will re-elect James Oberstar after he proposes a 5 cent increase in the Federal gas tax. The same people that are voting for Obama and Franken are on the same intelligence level as the average Maury Povich audience. Aaron, you'd like to think that "Minnesotans are smarter than this"----but if they were, your party of despotism and defeatism wouldn't dare to run half of the brain dead candidates that you do. Good grief. At this point in American culture, elections (and endorsing conventions for that matter) are becoming entirely too important to be left up to voters. And criminal trials are way too important to be left up to juries. Nice try. Yeah, Aaron—”Minnesotans are smarter than this.”
