Enough with the over-coverage of this story, TPM. How this knocks off something VASTLY more important like the Great Tax Hike/Kill Healthcare Bill" shows you’re bending to MediaWhore territory.

Coleman declined to further discuss the 2008 race and the current allegations, saying … that he didn’t want to “sound like sour grapes.”

Too late.

Mr. Coleman, blame Sean Hannity – he claims to have known about this photo for all this time … yet he kept his normally big, loud mouth shut.

That is like someone on a sports team saying we would have won if we scored more points than the other guys

Minnesotans voted in Jesse Ventura as governor. Franken would probably have gotten more votes, not less.

No, Norm, you wouldn’t have. Franken may have done icky things on occasion, but you’re a card-carrying member of the “feed the poor to the rich”-wing of the GOP. Shame on you, weevil.

So, if the picture of Franken reaching for boobies had surfaced, a booby would have won the election.
How ironic.

Nope. Don’t believe this for ONE MINUTE. And if Norm is soooooo hellbent on this idea, he should run against Franken again. See what happens.

In case anyone was wondering: yes, Norm is still bitter 10 years later.

Maybe. So what? If more people knew what an absolute douchebag Norm Coleman was, and where the GOP was taking the country, Franken might have beaten Coleman by a million votes, photo or no photo.

“If _____ had happened, I would have won” is pointless. Any number of other things might have happened that could have pushed the outcome one way or the other.

Norm certainly has a sense of humor. If Franken decides to run again, i’d bet he’d win. Again. Regardless of his RepubliCon opponent.

Yeah, this one is currently the top headline at TPM. And it’s about what goddamn Norm Coleman said.
