Bad news for Norm Coleman

[TheresNoMoney]

What candidates are probably/possibly going to run against Coleman?  (other than Franken who I really hope does not run)

Exactly my question.

I like Al Franken, but I don't think he's really a viable candidate. Mike Ciresi is a retread candidate, as is Steve Kelley. I have also heard Betty McCollum, and she could be a strong candidate.

Let's throw out some more names!! I have an intense dislike of Norm Coleman, he's in my top five of most despised Senators (although Santorum and Allen are no longer Senators).

Coleman's voting record is like Kennedy's.

Well, I do want to correct you a little. Coleman's record is more moderate than Kennedy, but Coleman is also ultra-partisan. He has absolutely been a Bush lap-dog for the Iraq War and the WMD lie.

Coleman is a man who strikes me as having close to zero principles. I mean, he was once a Democrat and from 2002-2005 was an ultra-partisan, firebreathing Republican? Now that the winds have shifted, I think he will moderate his voting record the next two years to try to get re-elected.

I would think Democrats would target Wayne Allard first of all.

Allard will definitely be the #1 target, and he probably retire. Democrat Mark Udall should be favored no matter what.
