When I write my senator, I want him to respond by saying "I hear what you're saying and although I might not agree, I'll do my duty as your representative and bring your voice to Washington with me". Instead, the replies I get from Norm Coleman are long winded, self promoting responses that highlight his legislature and his leadership. I think he thinks of himself as a leader instead of a representative, that is the Republican way after all. I will say, however, that I do appreciate his anti-war stance as of late. Maybe there's still some Democrat left in him.
