Norm Coleman isn't a great senator, but there's no compelling reason to replace him with a moron like Al Franken. And Franken won't win.<BR/><BR/>The larger point is that we hear too much talking about candidates in the terminology of the racetrack tout and I think a lot of what I'm hearing is rot, as usual. I suspect Barack Obama won't do so well in the fall.<BR/><BR/>In other words, nothing is inevitable.Mr. Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13920907647566015611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19838051.post-14525334772099970102008-06-08T00:20:00.000-05:002008-06-08T00:20:00.000-05:00what does it say about the real world strength of ...what does it say about the real world strength of the GOP that the democrats are expected to win with a bench like this?Ginohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09606046924332159076noreply@blogger.com
