Bachmann versus Clark – Coleman/Franken take two?

An interesting post today from the Minnesota Independent regarding the latest in the 6th district congressional race. As if the never ending senate battle of 2008 wasn’t bad enough, it appears that Senator Al Franken and former Senator Norm Coleman are getting ready to duke it out again — this time, via their favorite congressional candidates:

As if Michele Bachmann’s 2010 re-election battle wasn’t already going to be a doozy, it’s begun shaping up as a proxy war between the forces of U.S. Sen. Al Franken and the man he bested in Minnesota’s recount, former Sen. Norm Coleman. “The eyes of the nation — and Michele Bachmann’s right-wing allies — will be on this race,” Franken wrote in an email today on behalf of Bachmann rival Tarryl Clark. ”I have no doubt [Bachmann] is going to get re-elected by her constituents,” Coleman told an audience at Harvard University Tuesday night.

Regardless of the outcome, I’m sure we can all agree on one thing — please don’t let this race drag on into 2011.
