Dumping Cheney: 9/11 Commission + Norm Coleman's (R-Mn) ominous tone
Coleman and Joe Lieberman were interviewed by Blitzer the other day who asked what should we do about the 9/11 Commission recommendations.

Coleman said that "He" would be willing to look at the recommendations of the 9/11 Commission and "I'd" be willing to listen to what they have to say. His tone was forboding to me, living in Minnesota and familiar with his treacherous character.

He sounded like someone who has more clout than what we think he has.

Some have suggested Coleman may replace Cheney on the ticket - he has his own fetid baggage but not as much as Cheney.

In tandem to this, today the Dem Mayor of St Paul, MN threw his support to Bush/Cheney saying we must stay the course. He is up for re-election next year and this support of bush guarantees he'll lose that bid.

Lots happening up here in the North country.

(Coleman is a former St Paul mayor who switched parties, ran against Paul Wellstone as Rove's hand-picked candidate and won the 2002 election after the horrific plane crash right before the election)

Will Coleman move into the VP spot(or another admin appointment) leaving open his Senate seat for the Repub MN governor to fill with Mayor Randy Kelly (who by then will have changed parties)?

The RNC has tons of merchandise featuring just "W" and not "Bush/Cheney." Getting Cheney off the ticket would nearly eliminate Halliburton as an issue(we'll investigate that after the election) and put a pretty face (though empty suit) up against John Edwards.

This post deserves at least a dozen (or more) tin foil smiley's and a handful of scared little guys.

:tinfoilhat: :scared:

On the issue of Mayor Kelly - today he said he will remain a Democrat and support Bush's re-election. What is the strategy here - does Rove think the MN Dems will raise such an outcry that they'll oust Kelly from the party? Or will Kelly eventually 'do the right thing' and switch parties since the Dems in the state are so pissed at him?

Sorry for the lack of scientific data and your other requirement.

6. oh, the sig only refers to me
I was sick of people demanding that i post links for things they could easily google themselves. The sig was derived from what someone used to bash me.

btw - I'm no fan of coleman, fuckers had Paul murdered.

2. Coleman? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I'm

not knocking your reasoning - it's valid, but that is one classic creep and travesty. They should try to get someone better than Cheney.

I was going to say that they need someone to guide Bush and be the real president behind the president, but they probably have enough experience now for Card or someone else to takeover from Cheney.

Coleman is the marionette's marionette.

4. yes he is - a bagman, does what he's told and looks nice doing it
he has had a significant role in the admin so far - major bagman for the RNC and one of the trio of Truth Squadsters at our convention bashing Kerry. I don't know what else he's into - just saying keep an eye or two on the creep.

5. Thanks for your post, Jean! I saw that other article on kelly
"endorsing bush" and it sounded very disingenous. I would imagine more than a few St Paulians are wondering what he's been drinking?

My thought was that kelly thinks bush is going to win and wants to be sitting politically more pretty in the next four years.

I know coleman is a slithery greasy devil from following the Paul Wellstone campaign..I believe coleman has some personal issues that are unsavory but I don't know what he's done in Washington since he got the senator from Minnesota!

Go Mark Dayton!!
