WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Sen. Norm Coleman urged U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan Tuesday to resign because of a scandal involving the U.N.'s oil-for-food program.
"I'm simply saying he was the guy in charge during the course of this massive fraud. ... He really should step aside," Coleman, R-Minn., said in an interview.

I think its a little early to handicap 2008, but Coleman is sinking his teeth into this and if he is successful in making this issue high profile enough to get media attention, then I would say his name would be at least mentioned. Frankly whatever ambition serves to subdue the UN beast is fine with me. But its definitely a resume maker for national attention. Just speculating.
Norm's a Hawkeye. Gotta like him.
I'm actually surprised at Norm's performance here. Until now he's been just another spend-happy senator waiting for the next election.

Well Norm , I am saying he was involved in it up to his ears.
Racist, intolerant go-it-alone bigot!
In a related matter of importance, Kofi Annan stated, "Oh really, well I think Norm Coleman should quit." : )
He just got in.
When has a leftist ever done the right thing?
Koffee will do a Bill Clinton and blame everyone but himself. It's in the play book.
I had heard Sen. Coleman was doing an exceptional job for a freshman Senator before flying up to MN to campaign the week before the election, where I got to meet the Senator. I was impressed with your Governor and a few Congressmen as well. Maybe one of them (Kennedy?) will take on Dayton at the mid-term.
