This is one way to respond to an uneasy electorate. Fascinating decision and ploy...
From a Norm Coleman, incumbent candidate for U.S. Senate in Minnesota, press release:
"As of today I am suspending all negative campaign ads and am calling on those who support me to do the same," Coleman said. "I'm doing this for two reasons. First of all, this is a terrible time for so many people with the financial crisis - with real concerns and fear about people's jobs - about their life savings - and their children's future and education -- when we are all bombarded with negative messages of real consequence. At times like this, politics should not add to negativity - it should lift people up with hope and a confident vision for the future. And second, I decided that I was not all that interested in returning to Washington for six years based on the judgment of voters that I was not as bad as the other two guys. I want folks to vote for me, not against the other guys.
