Coleman's voting record is like Kennedy's. We saw how Kennedy claimed to be bipartisan and moderate, and how many people actually bought it. We aren't stupid.
Plus the Republicans screwed him by holding their convention in his home city. Now let's watch him try to distance himself from the national party.
I loved how at the victory party when he came on TV, everyone started booing. The only other person booed was Bachmann. Kennedy was booed, we all just laughed at him. Then someone yelled out "What the hell is this idiot on?" and another yelled "Enjoy your last two years in the Senate Norm!"
Bumper sticker a friend is going to try to get made: Hey Norm, You're Next!
Most of the things that make a person bipartisan or moderate never show up on the voting record, unfortunatly. The kinds of behind the door meetings that go on in order to win others to your side are not publicized, and the fact that one can only vote one of two ways on a bill tends to badly screw the voting records of Center-right and Center-left Congressmen and Senators.
Of course, the average voter is too stupid to realize this, and the average hack doesn't care.
