Sen. Norm Coleman has been on the defense lately. (See this previous post on the incompetent and incoherent response from the campaign on 'suitgate' and the McCain healthcare plan.)
Today the Coleman campaign announced its decision to stop negative ads. Coleman hopes that by making this unusual and unilateral move, he will appear to be taking the high road. And he hopes that Franken and the Democrats will have to tone down their attacks on Coleman, especially attacks on the recent stumbles.
I don't think Coleman's gamble will pay off. The decision comes a little too late, rings a little hollow after a season of savage attack ads, and is strangely reminiscent of GOP Rep. Feeney's ad. It's also reminds me of John McCain's move to "suspend" his campaign.
In the meantime, see this brilliant ad from Al Franken.
