This story about Norm Coleman’s refusal to answer a very basic question about whether a donor bought suits for him is getting more bizarre by the day — and getting more attention. It’s not a hard question. We first wrote about this on Monday. The fact that it’s still an issue says that something is very wrong at the Coleman campaign:

Norm Coleman is smarmy. I’ve despised the guy since the 2002 election when he won the seat in 2002 after the tragic death of Paul Wellstone. The right wing noise machine went crazy after Wellstone’s memorial service and turned that into a negative against the Democrats. That was one of the last times the right wing noise machine went unchallenged.

Norm Coleman was never a worthy successor to Paul Wellstone. And, his sleaziness makes him unworthy of being a U.S. Senator. Recent polls show Al Franken has moved into the lead. This latest Coleman scandal can only make things worse for the Republican.
