My Take
Norm Coleman is the kind of resume I find genuinely compelling. A Brooklyn kid out of a public high school becomes a lawyer, runs Saint Paul as mayor for eight years, then represents Minnesota in the U.S. Senate. The detail I keep returning to is the party switch from the DFL to the Republicans in 1996, which I read less as opportunism than as a politician recalibrating in real time. I tend to trust people who have done both the courtroom grind and the brutal arithmetic of local elections, because that combination breeds a pragmatism you cannot fake.
