Reply #4: What's the story about Norm's "propositioning of women"? [View All]

I know that his personal life must be pretty screwed up, as his "wife" was out in LA for years and they never saw each other. And I kept hearing rumors about him, confirmed in an oblique way in an editorial that Garrison Keillor wrote. Then Coleman's kids were living not with him, but with the grandparents.

I think the Keillor piece was triggered by a very sanctimonious 11th-hour ad campaign that Coleman ran, positioning himself as a "family values" candidate, and even getting his daughter to star in the ad. Keillor just went off about the level of hypocrisy involved, as I recall. I just wish I had saved that article!
