"Who does Norm work for?" (Vol. 2)

Minnesotans know that Norm Coleman isn't working for them in Washington. This ad is the latest in our series exploring just who he is working for -- and what he's getting in return.

Communications Director Andy Barr:

"Norm Coleman's already on the hook for his under-the-table 'arrangement' with DC insider Jeff Larson. Now we're finding out about his free luxury fishing trips with Big Oil executives - one of whom was convicted of bribery - paid for by indicted Senator Ted Stevens. The more you know about Norm Coleman's history with corrupt special interests, the worse it smells. It's time for Minnesotans to throw the Special Interest Senator back."

Coleman has refused to give back thousands of dollars from Stevens and the convicted VECO executives, claiming that he can't return money given during previous cycles. But Coleman has already given back money from previous cycles "after the books were closed," returning contributions made by clients of convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff.
