This year's senate race: Bushboy v. Playboy

Posted at 4:18 PM on June 9, 2008 by Tom Scheck

Get ready to hear Democrat Al Franken and his surrogates say this plenty of times over the next five months:

"It's not enough that George Bush is going in January of 2009. His enablers have to go with him and top on that list is Norm Coleman. He's given the president a blank check on this war and he wants to continue the Bush economic policy and the Bush Iraq policy." - Al Franken

Get ready to hear Norm Coleman and his surrogates say this plenty of times over the next five months:

"Norm Coleman was prosecuting criminals in the Attorney General's office. Al Franken was penning skits about drugging and raping a woman. Norm Coleman cleaned up the streets of St. Paul, revitalized the city and brought back hockey and Al Franken was writing Porn-O-Rama. Norm Coleman has held the line of taxes as mayor, as a senator he's been a fiscal conservative. Al Franken wants to raise taxes on people and not pay his own." - Coleman campaign manager Cullen Sheehan

When asked when the Coleman campaign would start running tv ads, Sheehan said:

"All of that stuff will be heating up soon. The campaign, I think, has begun in earnest now that the Democrats have picked their candidate."

Indeed.
