oh, god Norm Coleman referred to 'the light at the end of the tunnel'..Westmoreland..

[MnFats]

Gen. William Westmoreland used that phrase repeatedly during Vietnam, including in testimony to Congress.

but this is nothing like Vietnam. Nope, nothing similar at all...


Norm must go.
He's a mutt.

[rurallib]

1. Mutts the world over are insulted.

Norm, like Rick, is santorum.

[MadMaddie]

2. Yea but what he didn't say was it was a black light....

Is Norm up for reelection?

[GeorgeGist]

3. And as Westmoreland learned belatedly ...

the light was an on coming train.

[Bitwit1234]

4. Al Franken will win the whole state except Minneapolis/St Paul

some how the vote always seems to be fuzzy math there.

[azurnoir]

5. you meam the 'burb's?

not the cities proper they go Dem, the 'burbs are a different story and the wealthier the more likely they will go puke

[MnFats]

9. maybe not....Bloomington and Edina went for Kerry last time..

...things may be changing (two of the most affluent suburbs, traditional Repub territory)

anyway...if Al wins by a healthy margin in the cities, he should win big in Duluth, and on the Iron Range. Coleman's phony accent won't get him any votes "up north"

[Hieronymus]

6. Norm Coleman is a make believe senator.

[AndyTiedye]

7. Yeah, There's a Light in the Tunnel

[DavidDvorkin]

8. Started long before Westmoreland

One of the top French commanders was the first to tell his country that he could see the light at the end of the tunnel in Indochina.

[MnFats]

10. you'd think with that kind of track record they would

shelve that cliche....but NOOOOO

[LittleClarkie]

11. I remember a quote from Doonsbury

Why do you people dig yourselves a hole and then insist on turning it into a tunnel?

[TahitiNut]

12. "Politicians are people who, when they see light at the end of the tunnel, go out and ..."

"Politicians are people who, when they see light at the end of the tunnel, go out and buy some more tunnel."
~ John Quinton

[Kelly Rupert]

13. To be fair to him,

there are only so many phrases one can use to defend an abject disaster. Given the rate his party has been going through their reservoir, is it really his fault if the only ordnance left is Vietnam-era?
