I think it's "tips of the hat," and I think you left one obvious one out. But oh well.

Of course it's fake and so what? I'm not a huge fan of Coleman and have no plans to vote for him, but I've been impressed by many of his votes during his tenure in the Senate.

Cripes, you Minnesotans are so literal minded. Norm's from Brooklyn so perhaps he is using IRONY - something that seems to be dead out here.

Rome is burning and you're trying to figure out if his wife was spliced in. We need people in Congress who will do the right thing and their personal relationships should not figure into the equation.

She is obviously not in the same room--I noticed that and I've only seen this ad on TV once.

I just thought that was how it was supposed to look, and this was one of those lame ads where we're supposed to believe the players are hip because they break the wall between actor and narrator. Are you saying we're supposed to think she's in the kitchen with him?

To my dear commentator, Anne: This east/west coast provincialism must go away. I originally from New York, but I grew up here, and I would never go back. Stop picking on a state that far exceeds just about every state over there in high school graduation rates and SAT/ACT scores. Just stop it; you have no basis for your "you Minnesotans" comment. Its just IGNORANCE! And, yes, I know what "irony" means. Your little mind may carry on now.

Oh, and the guy that wrote this is from Cleveland. No offense, Kevin.

I'll agree with Anne on one thing: Why does this even matter?!? Good for Laurie Coleman if she's off doing her own thing and can't race across the country to be in a cheesy commercial for her husband. And even if their marriage is one the rocks or whatever, that has nothing to do with his potential as a public figure. Like most politicians aren't putting on a show anyway!

If you're basing your vote on that kind of drivel, please do the Great State of Minnesota a favor and stay home on voting day.

And hey, props to Laurie. She's strong and smokin' in the picture.

Norm's wife can't stand him, which is why she lives in California. Norm is The Zipper-Gate Candidate, hitting on every fresh young waitress and coatcheck girl he can lay his lecherous old eyes on.

Icky Norman.

suck my dick bithc

Who is "Bith C"? Or did you mean Biff C? Go Biff!

If its real, she is standing on a small stool. The end of the table is level with her thigh.

She did too look wholesome. Very, very wholesome.

By golly, Norm, I know you've got some money saved up. If you'd just concede this election, instead of rushing around campaigning and stuff, I'll bet you could spend the best part of next year in that very bed. That could easily be the best year of your entire life, Norm. I'd do it if I were you, Norm. Think about it, Norm; life is short and getting shorter.

in all seriousness norm does not look well to me...a bit too hollow cheeked and ashy around the eyes....has anyone else noticed this?

Does his wife care that he dates and sleeps with waitresses?
