I disagree and I'll use this quote to make my point.

"I would rather get away from that whole idea of clocks. We all want progress. But progress means getting nearer to the place where you want to be. And if you have taken a wrong turning, then to go forward does not get you any nearer. If you are on the wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road; and in that case the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive ... [and] going back is the quickest way on." C.S. Lewis

"Divided" Nation / Influence

OK, the Coleman numbers were disappointing, the Dayton numbers were expected, but the thing that was interesting is the fact that of 832 people polled 274 and 216 people had "no opinion". "No opinion" obviously includes those that literally have none and those who are more "neutral" on the subject. Don't those numbers seem high? I thought that our country was so "divided" and polarized. As the article states, Norm can look like a "yes man" for the Bush Administration, but could it be that Coleman happens to just agree with Bush on most or all of his positions? Is there a problem with unity of thought? One thing is certain, Coleman has continued to gain influence within the Republican caucus and this will only give him increased ability to influence change in the Senate. I look forward to seeing him leverage that over the next four years.
