Polinaut has the text of the statement Coleman issued, here. Ditto, same link but more terse, other GOP guv wannabes.......................
Wholly unrelated below is a photo showing weasel teeth, (from this blog).
Could a weasel talk and say, blah-blah-blah, or would it have to handle the communication via a press release?
_______UPDATE________
GOP grassroots, not necessarily allied to those holding party leadership positions and not necessarily anchored in the Twin Cities, indeed, having an Emmer liking, are questioning whether the Coleman presence is good for their party and their core personnel; two links, each worth a read, here and here.
Remember, you encountered the Draft Nasser Kazeminy Movement here first, on Developers are Crabgrass. Why settle for the errand man, when the fiscal home run hitter is on the scene?
You say you've never heard of that movement before, and are well read; well, of course not, I have invented it today, no earlier.
But it makes as much true good sense as recycling yesterday's fish, aka, the Norm.
