In one of this year’s

In one of this year’s most closely watched Senate campaigns, Norm Coleman has opened up a six-point lead over Paul Wellstone, according to the latest MSNBC/Zogby poll. This is despite being badly outspent, so far, and despite a media campaign that nearly everyone considers lackluster. I was initially pessimistic about this race, and still am to some extent. But the race is mostly about Wellstone, not Coleman. If these latest poll numbers are accurate, Wellstone has worn out his welcome with lots of Minnesotans.
