5. I had to go with Normie Coleman in part....
....because of the way he got there.
....that, and the fact that he's just an opportunistic weasel without any core values except political expediency that serves to advance Normie's career....oh, but he wants to be on a national ticket soon!

Remember that Normie pointed to a couple of positions that he said set him apart from being a Bush rubber stamp? On drilling in Alaska, he announced that he was prepared to say, "Mr. President, you're wrong!"
Well, he's already flipped on that one. For all sorts of convoluted reasons, he's firmly in Bush's corner on ANWR.

then just this past week, he flipped on the voucher plan for D.C. schools. He ran saying he opposed vouchers....now, because the d.c. school chief endorsed it (willing to try ANYTHING to secure a little more money for d.c. schools) Normie is going to vote for the voucher plan. wingers and religious folks are soooo pleased becaus this signals normie is coming around to their view, and they were so worried about having a secular Jew represent them. (of course, Paul Wellstone was Jewish, too, but that was just one reason they despised him.)
