COLEMAN FOR U.S. SENATE PRESS RELEASE: “COLEMAN FOR SENATE RELEASES ‘ONCE IN A GENERATION’ WEBVIDEO”

ST. PAUL – In a new webvideo released today, the Coleman for Senate campaign juxtaposes the qualities and values of proven leaders such as Abe Lincoln and Hubert Humphrey against those of Al Franken – which includes perpetuating negative stereotypes, his failure to pay for workers’ comp for his employees and offensive jokes about rape.
“In this video, Minnesotans are once again reminded that Al Franken doesn’t have the experience, commonsense or the ability to work with people across party lines to get things done,” said Cullen Sheehan, campaign manager. “Never before have they been given a clearer choice in an election: they have the choice between the angry, overly partisan and vulgar comedian from New York who doesn’t pay his taxes and demeans women and minorities, and a proven leader, who’s brought people together to get things done for Minnesota.”
“Once in a generation can be viewed at http://www.youtube.com/colemanforsenate. [I posted the webvideo above]
“Once In A Generation” Script:
Announcer: “Once in a generation there is a person who looks beyond division and strife, and sees the potential of the human spirit. He or she has the moral character to lead, and integrity that inspires others to believe in something greater than themselves. This person has a voice of optimism, and an attitude that pushes other beyond- ”
[Record scratch]
Announcer: “Al Franken is not this person”
Franken: “‘You number one GI, I [bleep] you ’til tomorrow, I [bleep] you all night long,’ sighed the pouty sex kitten.”
Anchor: “DFL Senate candidate Al Franken is getting fined $25,000 in New York for failing to pay for workers’ compensation for his employees.”
Franken: “And how shameless, how [bleep] shameless these people are. These people are so-”
Anchor: “More controversy tonight surrounding Senate candidate Al Franken. Today Republicans released an article that said Franken joked about rape.”
Announcer: “Al Franken, just not right for Minnesota.”

The greatest part of this video is how Coleman makes no effort to say that he is a once in a generation Senator, or even above average. He simply keeps throwing mud in an effort to convince the voters that Al Franken is no Abe Lincoln.
I don’t think anyone expects Abe Lincoln. But an ability to recognize and deal with the problems of the state would be a good start. And Norm has proven in six years that he isn’t even as competent as Mark Dayton. At least Dayton had the conscious to not run again after six lackluster years. But Norm, for some unknown reason, seems proud of his own unique brand of incompetence.

I’m pretty sure a high school student could have created better production quality than this.

The problem with Coleman is that he has no spine.
Coleman says more than anything else, he’d like to see Congress pass an energy bill that allows more offshore drilling.
If he had a backbone, he’d let the offshore drilling ban automatically expire at the end of the month.

He simply keeps throwing mud
Is it really throwing mud when Angry Al’s all covered with it due to his own incompetence?

Hard to talk about “quality” when it features Franken. I think Norm is trying to tell us that he would prefer to run against Lord Faris because he hasn’t let up on Al. A campaign between these two might be an uplifting experience for our state.
Just think if she were to win tomorrow, the message that would be sent to Chuck Schumer and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. A major embarrassment to the entire Washington, D.C. democratic establishment and to the media who have been in love with Franken from day one. Remember that as a radio and entertainment guy, Franken has connections that lots of the local media think will be beneficial to their careers. Send a message, folks. Vote for PLF.

Franken is obviously toast.
Go back to Hollyweird…
PLF has no chance; and there’s no difference between her and Franken. She stated she can represent “Minnesota values” better than Franken.
Duh! Exactly what vallues is she talking about????

All the republicans crossing over to vote for Prissy will only show how scared they are becoming now that Norm’s campaign is really starting to stutter badly and lose ground.
I think even republicans are starting to understand that given the chance, Al WILL beat Norm on Nov. 4.
