Is Coleman Afraid of Frankenstein?

As former comedian and radio pundit Al Franken begins his campaign for Senate in Minnesota, his opponent, GOP Senator Norm Coleman, is looking like he has taken notice.

Last Saturday, Coleman was one of seven Republican senators – also including the other Jewish GOP Senator, Pennsylvania’s Arlen Specter – to vote for the Democrats’ anti-surge resolution.

Coleman is also working to present himself as a champion on rural health care issues.
