Survey USA just released new approval ratings for Minnesota’s Senators and Norm Coleman isn’t looking so hot. Only 46% of Minnesotans approve of his job performance, compared to 45% who disapprove. I don’t mean to be a broken record here, but any incumbent below 50% is in danger. More troubling for Norm is the fact that his approval among moderates is down to 41%, not good at all.
But don’t worry Norm, I have a foolproof plan to revitalize your polling numbers:
Be Amy Klobuchar.
Amy’s polling at her usual amazing levels - a phenomenal 62% approval with only 32% dissapproving. Looks like Minnesotans are happy with the choice they made last fall.

Amy Klobuchar isn’t having interest group money and advertising money spent to knock her down. The base is NOT happy with her. Take a look at the two articles linked by MDE.
It’s actually a sign that the anti-war people are partisan, in that they aren’t picketting her office (why aren’t they - they should?)
Well, when Norm proclaims himself a DFLer again next summer in a last ditch effort to save his job, we progressives will show him just how non- partisan we can be!
Great idea, get Klobuchar to retire and run against Norm! How’s that head to head with the angry SNL guy?
Norm has a big strapping 21 year old son, as well as a 17 year old daughter. Both are military age.

Are they going to Iraq? Why Not?
Norm is just another Chickenhawk republican.
I loved this quote from his website:
“In 1996, Norm became increasingly frustrated with a Democratic Party that he felt was moving away from Minnesota’s hardworking middle class roots and values. He joined the Republican Party”
As we all know, Republicans represent the hard workin’ people.
Sex changes tend to be quite successful, party changes much less so- look at the experience of a former St.Paul council member. And while supporting transsexuals and other gay folk as a legislator didn’t stop Arne Carlson from winning an 8 year residency in the governor’s mansion, ultimately he found himself abandoned by the republican party he changed to. Fellow party switcher Norm waited too long, and the accidental seantorno finds himself a republican when republicans ain’t popular any more. For transsexuals, a 2nd surgury to return to the original sex is pretty much impossible- they just plain run out of tissue to work with. For politicans, they just plain run out of credibility!
