Coleman To Go All Positive

Coleman calls off negative adsIn the face of the deepening financial crisis, U.S. Sen. Norm Coleman said Friday that he will pull all his negative advertising from television, print and radio and disavow any interest group ads that attack his opponents.

Appearing somber and red-eyed at a news conference this morning at his campaign headquarters, Coleman, who is Jewish, told reporters that after a day of fasting and prayer for Yom Kippur, a "time of fasting, soul-searching and refocusing on your life," he had decided to change the tone of his campaign.

"We're in a place that I don't think any of us of this generation, this time, have ever seen before," Coleman said. "At times like this, politics should not add to the negativity. It should lift people up with hope and a confident vision for the future."

Boy you think tanking in the polls and the new clothing scandel might have something to do with this?
