Is Norm Coleman a coward?

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Yes.

If he wasn't, he would keep voting with his Santorum clone voting record instead of his immediate dash to the center now.

So interesting how he had a revelation that turned him anti-war 2 days after the election. Guess he saw how much Minnesota likes Santorum clones with his buddy Mark Kennedy. At least Sununu is keeping up his extremist record and now being a complete coward like Coleman.

It is amusing to see the Bush clone attempt to save himself. =)

I'm trying to remember Normie's famous quote from his hippie, antiwar, student council days. A man of principle, Senator Coleman is. :-)

I can't think of a single politician who would not do what he felt would give him the best chance of keeping his job.

[Ban my account ffs!]

Paul Wellstone maybe?

But that's just it... his adherence to his principles worked well for him because people liked him for that even if they didn't always agree with him.

Alas, he's gone.

I kinda like Norm Coleman, I don't think he's a coward. But he isn't my Senator, so I don't spend too much time worrying about him.

 I liked Paul Wellstone too, shame about him.

Paul Wellstone and Russ Feingold are two politicians who always voted their conscience, and didn't make decisions based on getting re-elected.

Yeah, okay, I'll give you those two, especially Feingold, who has actually frequently endangered his chances of re-election for his principles.

The fact that YES is winning shows the liberal bias on this forum.

The fact that YES is winning shows the liberal bias on this forum.

Not neccessarily - some conservatives are probably angry at Coleman's opportunism in abandoning the conservative path when its widely unpopular in Minnesota and America.  Throughout his career, it seems as though the overriding thing guiding Coleman has been self-interest; above most other politicians.

This forum is far to the left of the news media in this country, I'll give you that.

I take it you've never read "Profiles in Courage" by John Kennedy.
