You know something's wrong when Norm Coleman threatens to be nice

Norm Coleman's election-year evolution continues, according to the Star Tribune.

On the week after polls show him trailing Franken and reporters hounded him about who buys his suits, he's decided, after meditating during Yom Kippur, that he should stop running negative adverstisements against Franken-- not because it didn't work but because it wasn't right.

Also, he's decided not to comment on his personal relationship with Nasser Kazeminy, who critics allege bought him fancy suits. Instead, he takes a cue from Obama:

"Nobody but me and my wife buy my suits."

He added that "Barack Obama was right. Families should be off-limits."

I think certainly the real question now should be: What exactly is the relationship with Kazeminy that qualifies him as family? This could be a bigger scandal than we thought.
