Ridiculous Debate on the Blogs

I was just paging through various blogs and came upon a ridiculous debate on Minnesota Democrats Exposed. After liberal bloggers wrongfully suspected that Senator Coleman's wife was 'green screened' into the campaign's most recent ad, the Coleman campaign fired back with an internet video. This caused some of the ususal blogger suspects to argue back and forth about the primary residences of Norm Coleman and Al Franken. It's funny to see such a pathetic and backward debate on a blog that is run by a man who works for Erik Paulsen’s congressional campaign. I'm sure Mr. Paulsen really appreciates having a consultant who facilitates bitter partisan bickering.

Let's clear up some things. Al Franken has lived in New York for the past thirty years and only came back to Minnesota three years ago so he could run for U.S. Senate. Franken still maintains an apartment in NYC. Norm Coleman is semi-estranged with his wife but tried to fake it in an ad. Neither of them are all that forthright.

Mike Ciresi, however, was born and raised in St. Paul. He went to school here, he stayed here, and he still lives here. Ciresi doesn't need an ad to show he's close with his family. What a ridiculous debate that, once again, Ciresi would win.
