Hey Norm, We're Tired of the Election

Norm, people are tired of your recounting and your dragging on of the election. Now you are getting litigious about the recount. Nice.

I do recall hearing you say in November that your opponent should step aside. Odd that you don't see it that way now.

• Norm Coleman is a former Democrat, now playing a Republican since 1996.
  
  
• He has some excellent connections, here are a few: Nasser Kazeminy (see Federal investigation information below), Jeff Larson (Karl Rove protégé), Hays Companies.
  "Federal investigators are looking into allegations that a longtime friend and benefactor tried to steer money to U.S. Sen. Norm Coleman. Houston is where the first of two lawsuits was filed alleging Nasser Kazeminy, a Bloomington financier, tried to steer $100,000 to Coleman via his wife's Minneapolis employer. The second suit, filed in Delaware, alleges Kazeminy initially tried to get money directly to the senator.”
  
  
• He was beaten in 1998 in his run for Governor by Jesse Ventura.
  
  
• Was persuaded by Karl Rove and George W. Bush to run against incumbent Senator Paul Wellstone in Minnesota's 2002 Senate election. The White House was determined to unseat Wellstone, and felt Coleman, with his popularity in heavily Democratic St. Paul, offered the best chance of doing so. Coleman easily won the Republican nomination. Wellstone was killed in an airplane crash 25 Oct 2002.
  
• Abortion opponent, Stem Cell limits to adults and umbilical cord, pro-legislative intervention in cases like Terri Schiavo.
  
• Adversary of public employee unions.
  
• Strong supporter of the war in Iraq and the War on Terror. He has been a consistent supporter of the war over the past several years, and usually agrees with the positions of the Bush Administration on Iraq.
  
• Supports drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
  
• Opposes same sex marriage.
  
• Opposes legalization of marijuana.
  
• Supports Social Security privatization and investment in the stock market.

The costs of the election lawsuit falls to the losing campaign, although state law could require units of government to pay the costs if their errors or irregularities lead to a reversal.

In case you are new to Minnesota and the stories about the Coleman family, here's a blast from the past.

Norman Bertram Coleman Sr., Lewd Behavior

The 81-year-old father of U.S. Sen. Norm Coleman was cited for lewd conduct and indecent exposure Tuesday for allegedly having sex in a vehicle with a 38-year-old woman, according to police reports.

Police responded to a call early Tuesday evening and arrested Norman Bertram Coleman Sr. and the woman, Patrizia M. Schrag of St. Paul, outside a pizza joint on the eastern edge of downtown.

Sen. Coleman issued a statement this afternoon that said:"I love my father dearly. I do not condone his actions or behavior, and I am deeply disturbed by what I have learned. He clearly has some issues that need to be dealt with, and I will encourage him to seek the necessary help."

The elder Coleman was a fixture on the campaign trail four years ago when Coleman defeated former Vice President Walter Mondale after Sen. Paul Wellstone was killed in a plane crash.

Sen. Coleman often held up his father as a hero, a veteran of the Normandy invasion and the Battle of the Bulge. "He's the smartest man I know," the senator said in 2002."
