We were at the debate last night. Last night Norm Coleman was given the opportunity to lay the facts out on the charges against him. These are serious charges involving $75,000 being funneled to a Senator. If he is being wrongly accused, I would think he would have taken this amazing opportunity to share all the facts with the audience. Instead, he immediately jumped on Al Franken again. Norm did not want to talk about the facts. As a voter, I want to know the facts. I want to know if our Senator has been taking money on the side. I think he owes us the truth.
