Did Little Normie get a visit from the Ghost of Elections Future, or the Ghost of Wellstone Past?

2008 only two years away.

Sen. Coleman is anti-surge ...

Sen. Norm Coleman, R-Minn., said today after a two-day trip to Iraq that he would not support an increase in the number of soldiers in Baghdad.

He said he would "stand against" any effort to send a surge of more troops to Baghdad unless there's a clear vision that it will help end sectarian violence in the city.

"I think it would create more targets. I think we would put more life at risk," he said in a phone call with reporters from Bahrain. Coleman visited Baghdad, Fallujah, Taqaddum and Talil.

4. Wow! I didn't know he even had his own set of vocal chords!

Two theories: one, he can feel the winds of change, two, he saw things first hand and now understands. Hopefully it's the second. One can hope.

7. He knows he's a top target in 2008

His seat is one of the most vulnerable up for grabs and he knows he's in an increasingly blue state.
