A bolg called An Enduring Democratic Majority joins the effort to persuade Senator Norm Coleman (R-MN) to support he Employee Free Choice Act with a rather curious charm offensive.  After quoting an OP-ED from the Minneapolis Twin Cities Daily Planet that the Senator "could be the pivotal vote on the Employee Free Choice Act when it goes to the Senate floor in June," the blog continues:

How quickly things change in one election. Minnesota went from having the champion of the working class as their Senator, to the champion of - well - nobody but himself.

So Coleman has been doing his best to distance himself from the GOP and Bush over the last few years. It doesn't take an accomplished statistician to read between the lines here: the closer Coleman gets towards reelection, the more "Indpendent" he has become.

Coleman is an opportunist in every sense of the word. When it benefited him to be a Conservative Bush-Lacky, he was. And now, with Bush in the crapper and the Republican party working the plunger, he's slowly moving away from the party.

Coleman truly is a thorn in the side of progress at both the national level and state level.

Either way, I can't wait to get behind the man who will end the reign of Norm Coleman.

The aforementioned Twin Cities Daily Planet  OP-ED, entitled Rally at Circuit City puts spotlight on Coleman, begins with the following:

What do the Circuit City retail chain and U.S. Senator Norm Coleman have in common? They both are undermining the American dream, participants at a rally said.

This seems to be a strange way to treat a potential swing voter.
