Bush as an Electoral Albatross

Chris Coleman's ass-whooping of St. Paul Mayor Randy Kelly in the Democratic primary yesterday could be a sign of things to come in the 2006 election. Kelly, you may recall, endorsed George W. Bush in 2004 - an endorsement that he was pounded for by Coleman during his re-election campaign. The sheer margin of the challenger's victory over the incumbent is a sign that the Democratic base is really fired up, and that Bush could be an albatross around incumbent's necks. Stay tuned for the final battle between the two in November.
