While I don't live and breathe the MN Senate race, what I have read suggests that Norm Coleman is running against Al Franken by basically calling him an idiot comedian, unfit for office.From where I sit, you can go into these races choosing one of two broad strategies. Either you can say you respect, but disagree with your opponent, or you can take the Coleman strategy and call the person fundamentally incompetent.
Taking the Coleman strategy must make it a hell of a lot less comfortable, then, to find out you're tied with someone who you have determined is a total idiot.
What does that say about you (or the electorate, Normy)?

In the trenches here it is amusing, to say the least, how effectively the race has been about Franken's likability and jokes, rather than Coleman's record.
You see some signs of that changing, but who knows what will happen.
Just to add, in MN the political season really doesn't start until after The Fair. So there is plenty of time.
I was just thinking of the Fair this morning.
Cheese curds...ymmmm....;-)
They had Ann Reed on this morning singing all her Fair songs. Spectacular way to wake up.
