COLEMAN CAMPAIGN MANAGER: “THE FREIGHT TRAIN IS COMING…”
By Michael B. Brodkorb | March 10, 2009
“Other Coleman backers were more outspoken. Franken, who was in Washington, said Tuesday that he saw ‘the light at the end of the tunnel,’ to which Coleman campaign manager Cullen Sheehan responded: ‘Al Franken doesn’t know the difference between a light in the tunnel and the freight train that is coming right at him. The freight train is coming, and it’s Senator Norm Coleman being reelected to the United States Senate.‘” Source: Star Tribune, March 10, 2009

Hey, danbrome is correct. Al Franken is suffering from “Desperate denial”.
It is obvious to me that he was agreeing with this post which clearly was saying that Al Franken is in denial about his pending loss.

Norm Coleman hasn’t had the lead for months now. And he got the vast majority of the ballots he wanted included rejected.
How again does Norm posess any momentum other than a growing stench of failure?
March 11th, 2009 at 7:49 am
Franken and Coleman are both stupid, desperate fucks.
March 11th, 2009 at 12:54 pm
yeah. The freight train that Norm Coleman will be riding on as he is driven out of town by his angry 50,000 donors!
March 11th, 2009 at 1:31 pm
AC, how long are you going to hold on to that list?
March 11th, 2009 at 1:40 pm
“Freight Train” or “Train Wreck”?
March 11th, 2009 at 5:32 pm
Well, if this thread doesn’t prove that Minnesota democrats will endlessly condone, excuse and support lawbreaking ….. I don’t know what does….
…… no wonder terrorist Kathleen Soliah wants to be back with her supportive community.
March 11th, 2009 at 5:35 pm
oops….
I posted the last post on the wrong thread …. one of the few threads that it is not relevant to..
March 11th, 2009 at 7:19 pm
The only people who broke the law were Coleman staffers in charge of that web site.
If I put on old refrigerator on the curb in front of my house with a “free” sign on it, I can not turn around and claim that it was stolen by somebody. That is exactly what happened here. Coleman’s staff published an unencrypted database on the internet for anyone to see. Easy as downloading a JPEG or a video. Nothing illegal about downloading it.
March 11th, 2009 at 7:43 pm
AC, Huh?
March 11th, 2009 at 9:07 pm
Pete, I’m typing slow so you can read slow…
Take a look at the top of this web site. See the MDE banner? Suppose somebody in charge of this web site accidentally replaced that graphic with a list of Michael Brodkorb’s social security number, credit card number, security code, etc. And you come to this web site and see that information. Who’s fault is that? Your fault or the person on the web team who published that info?
Are you a criminal for accessing that info when it was published for the world to see?
March 11th, 2009 at 10:13 pm
Has it dawned on any of you liberals that fate could never be as so unkind as to mark this court jester as magic number 60? This would be a Democrat and all card carrying communist’s gift. A gift wrapped with a bow. Could fate really allow this joker into this Democrat congress…with 60 vote veto proofed power!? I have seen this freight train and I tell you, it scared Pippin half to death death!
March 12th, 2009 at 5:34 am
AC, what does your post here have anything to do with the train coming down the tracks? Duh!
March 12th, 2009 at 7:29 am
Responding toe KIS. I would love to let it drop and talk about it there, but as long as you keep asking questions about it…
But back to that train.
I love how in today’s Pioneer Press, Ginsberg said that their lack of proof shouldn’t matter. Yeah, that should help steam your freight train. What a boob.
From the Pioneer Press:
The spreadsheet Coleman submitted indicated he has not put into the record proof that 649 of the voters whose ballots he’d like counted did not vote in any other way.
Attorney Ben Ginsberg, Coleman’s chief trial spokesman, said the lack of proof shouldn’t matter.
WTF? You filed this challenge. The burden of proof is on you!
March 12th, 2009 at 9:07 am
AC, you screwed up and have such a hugh ego you can’t even admit it.
Isn’t it up to the judges to decide what the Coleman team should have to do? Are you somehow connected to the panel of judges deciding this case? What type of proof would there be of something that did not happen? Do you smoke dope all day or do you switch to something stronger in the evenings?
March 12th, 2009 at 9:30 am
Pete, I didn’t screw up. KIS accidentally posted on this thread (he/she admitted that) and I replied. And you kept the mis-directed conversation going. How is that my screw-up?
Well, let’s see, I’m not a lawyer, but when you file a lawsuit, you had better have PROOF to back up your claims. Otherwise, those would be called theories, opinions, ideas, etc. Without proof, you have a very weak legal argument.
March 12th, 2009 at 10:28 am
Weak? But earlier you said that Coleman had to have proof. Can’t you make up your mind?
Did you read the post KIS did correcting his error? It sounds pretty stupid of you to make the same mistake after he clearly said it was the wrong topic. Just how dumb are you AC?
March 12th, 2009 at 12:33 pm
Pete, I don’t even know what you are babbling about. Ginsberg said the lack of proof shouldn’t matter and I am arguing that of course they need to provide proof. That is what person filing the challenge has to do. PROVE their case. They can’t just say “We have a pretty good hunch we won.” They have to prove it. How much clearer can I make this for you?
March 12th, 2009 at 12:38 pm
Sorry, posted to soon. As to the second part, I loaded the page early in the evening and went to dinner. It was my fault for not hitting refresh before I posted my reply. By then, KIS had posted a follow-up and I missed it. What’s the big deal? You act like it’s the end of the world. Get over it.
March 12th, 2009 at 1:43 pm
AC, is it so hard to say “I made a mistake”? I thought liberals were excepting of failure. You certainly need to be considering who you have in the White House.
Babbling? I hardly think one sentence is considered babbling AC. I have noticed however that whenever you are pushed into a corner you respond with a “babbling” comment. You are so transparent.
March 12th, 2009 at 1:44 pm
Pete..
You are commenting on somebody else’s ego?
PPPLLLLEEEAAASSSEEE!!!!!!!
March 12th, 2009 at 6:26 pm
Good Lord, Pete. What is your problem?
In post 19 I explained why I was posting off-topic and tried to get back on-topic. But apparently you were not interested in that.
I explain it further in posts 21 and 24 and even used the phrase “it was my fault.” But again, I guess that is not clear enough for you.
Everyone else has figured this out, but I will spell it out again for Pete. I responded to a post by KIS, who had posted in error on this thread. Therefore my response was also off-topic. My bad. No big deal. I also apologize for Pete who has forced all of you to sit through this. He means well.
March 12th, 2009 at 10:41 pm
Pete is a lonely conservative Republican who doesn’t understand much of anything. I think the next 8 years may be quite painful for him and his movement.
March 13th, 2009 at 11:55 am
AC Anything to keep you occupied AC. I figure the more you are researching useless information and spending time here the safer our kids are.
danbrome, still hiding behind the “moderate” label? Talk about lonely, a guy who is so ashamed of his political views must get pretty lonely sitting there at night with the lights off wishing he were man enough to speak the truth.
March 31st, 2009 at 9:48 pm
Game over.
I hope Norman is asking his PR/Lawyer team to explain the media coverage in the morning. Note to the former senator: you will be laughed at even further if you keep this up. Minnesotans want a senator seated. As painful as that may be to you, you should concede after the ballots are opened April 7.
