Indeed, he did, just about two days after he voted to favor the amnesty. If you recall, there were two votes that week. Like all great politicians, Coleman likes to be sure he is firmly entrenched on both sides of most issues.
It may be that Coleman is as good as it gets in a liberal state like Minnesota. I simply think Coleman has a great deal in common with bill clinton. He won't tie his shoes without poll numbers supporting the endeavor.
Yes the majority did vote to at least continue the debate the first time but the final vote was the one that counted.
Just saying that I know Coleman isn't the perfect conservative by a long shot but he beats Franken hands down.
