Zack reported yesterday that both Al Franken and Mike Ciresi had issued letters urging Senator Coleman to reconsider his continued support for President Bush’s plans in Iraq. The Star Tribune has an article about the situation in today’s paper but despite the increasing pressure (and the moves of his Republican colleagues) Coleman declined to offer comment:
Coleman has supported the war in the past and has been sharply critical of opponents, but in recent months has expressed his own concerns about the war’s lack of progress.
Coleman was unavailable for comment on Tuesday, but released a statement that suggested a further softening of his once solid support.
“I remain deeply concerned about the President’s strategy and for American troops caught in sectarian violence,” Coleman said in the statement.
With Republican support for the war in the Senate continuing to fall and the nation yearning for national leadership in this time of foreign tumult, why is Norm Coleman remaining stubbornly silent?

So Normie voted to have a vote, and the vote to have a vote failed. So it means we’re not really voting, and it doesn’t really mean he’s parting ways with Dubya…..
The only thing Normy has come out to say -
is that he will NOT vote to impeach Cheney…
The guy is simply a weasel.
That is because Norm Coleman was handpicked by Dick Cheney to run unopposed for Senator in 2002. Why would Norm even consider a vote to Impeach him? ;)
