BREAKING NEWS: COLEMAN ENDORSED BY PIONEER PRESS!!!
By Michael B. Brodkorb | October 25, 2008
U.S. Senator Norm Coleman was endorsed today by the oldest daily newspaper in Minnesota, the Pioneer Press. From the endorsement:
“But on balance, we believe that Coleman’s experience and record, plus his stated commitment to bipartisanship, give him the edge over Franken and Barkley. We recommend a second term in the U.S. Senate for Norm Coleman.” Source: Pioneer Press, October 25, 2008
This is huge news for Coleman. Please check back to Minnesota Democrats Exposed for information on this developing story.
UPDATE: Here’s a key line about Franken from the Pioneer Press’ endorsement of Coleman:
“We initially took Franken for a hard-core partisan, and that gave us pause. But we sense that he is learning to fight for a ‘progressive’ agenda with less rancor and more reason” Source: Pioneer Press, October 25, 2008
Once again, it’s a tough news day for Team Franken.

This is amazing!
Michael, you should very proud of these endorsements.
If Norm Coleman wins the election on a positive message (disregarding the past advertising and the NRSC, which Franken now admits you cannot control) it will be a truly great thing for Minnesota.
I do truly hope that if elected Norm Coleman returns to the Senate not thinking he is invincible, but that he has a mandate from Minnesotan to get things done by working across party lines.

Wow! Another thing that Norm can frame and look at on his study wall while Franken is being sworn in as out next senator.

Leroy, your comedy tour is going to fail if you don’t come up with some new material. You sure you aren’t puddles? Like him you just keeping repeating the same old lines day after day…

The truth is, Norm is paying for his focus on national party politics his first couple of years in the Senate.
It seems like a distant memory but he was the toast of the town when he went it and spent a lot of time fundraising for other Senate candidates across the country and entertaining interviews about being on the ticket in ‘08.
My how the mighty has fallen.
One note of interest, Coleman is making a hard play to Chair NRSC. So, if he wins, he will chair the election committee of the senate Republicans. It will be in his interest, and his job, to see that the Democratic agenda is defeated- not compromised or tempered with to get bi-partisan support but defeated, no matter Minnesota or country’s gain.
On the other hand, Franken will be another vote for the Democratic majority. A chance for Minnesota to have another voice in the new agenda for change the nation is pushing for (except the blind hardcore republicans).
So, why would Minnesota send him back?

This blog is about repeating the same shit throughout the day and day after day.

Wow! Another incredibly inane and senseless post by Leroy Jenkins!

Steve-
You get a choice.
Candidate A has been endorsed by both major newspapers in the state.
Candidate B has been leading in every major poll for the past month.
Throwing out the names and personalities, it is the inane person who would like the odds of candidate A in this scenario.
Guess what that makes you, Steve?

a mandate from Minnesotan to get things done by working across party lines.
If the democrats win the White House and both houses of Congress do we have an expectation that they’ll even give a minutes thought to “working across the aisle”?

Sorta blows a big hole in Aaron’s Avista Partners BS theory.

Al Franken:
Just like Jesse Ventura,
without the sense of humor…
Or the intelligence…
or the ethical standards…
or the business tax acumen

if the dems get their 60 seats in senate, don’t assume that assures ultra liberal agenda. it will of course favor more liberal trend, but many of the dem senators are conservative economically–i.e. conrad, johnson, nelson, landieu; thus, they still need to work both sides of the aisle.

Normie has the Big Mo’ right now in this race.

jbesnon, do you really think Colemen’s ethical problems are going to magically go away on November 9th?
That somehow, the Senate’s Ethics Committee’s file on Coleman is simply going to disappear?
If so, that explains your support for Norm “Smokescreen” Coleman, Minnesota’s most ethically challenged politician.

“That somehow, the Senate’s Ethics Committee’s file on Coleman is simply going to disappear?”
You mean that file that consists only of a couple half-assed complaints with no basis? Yes, I’m pretty sure that that file will “disappear.” It hardly exists in the first place.
