2010 is a long ways off, but Norm Coleman didn't help himself with most Minnesota voters during the eight-month Senate recount saga. A majority of Minnesotans view him unfavorably. This might put a serious dent on his designs to run for governor now that Tim Pawlenty is resigning.
As an aside, did you know that Pawlenty is leaving office? He announced he won't run, but is finishing out his term, unlike Alaska's Sarah Palin. The odds are pretty good that he'll run for president and I expect people will respect him a lot more than Palin.
In other related resignation news, the news that Illinois Senator Roland Burris won't seek reelection is not news. He had said all along that he would be a fill-in. That he hasn't raised huge sums of money for a reelection bid isn't a sign he can't raise money, but an indication he never tried.
