Tempting Fate

The buzz this morning is that former Sen. Norm Coleman (R-MN) may now be mulling a run for governor in his home state of coleman-blog.jpgMinnesota.

But does he really want to go there? Think about it. Coleman has put together quite a record over the last decade. He's now been beaten by an ex-professional wrestler (Jesse Ventura in 1998 for governor) and an ex-professional comedian (Al Franken in 2008 for senate).

Can Coleman's dignity really withstand another run? Who would another Norm candidacy pull out of the woodwork to keep the record going by beating him this time?

An ex-porn star? Ex-juggler? Someone help me here. How much worse could it get?
