Coleman sighting

There’s about to be a Norm Coleman sighting. He’s scheduled a 3 p.m. “media availability” at the Capitol today. It’s unclear whether he’ll answer any questions. Yesterday, his opponent — Al Franken — refused to answer any questions when he made his first public appearance since the recount started.

MPR will carry the event live on its news and information service stations.

FYI, the Franken campaign has ignored the questions I’ve sent over numerous times.

Bob Collins retired from Minnesota Public Radio in 2019 after 12 years of writing NewsCut and pointing out to complainants that posts weren’t news stories. A son of Massachusetts, he was a news editor 1992-1998, created the MPR News regional website in 1999, invented the popular Select A Candidate, started several blogs, and every day lamented that his Minnesota Fantasy Legislature project never caught on.
