Exclusive citizen journalist story from The Uptake:
Peace marchers visited Senator Norm Coleman at his home in St. Paul last weekend. They found him in the alley in the back of his house (photo) and convinced him to chat with the peace supporters in his front yard for about 20 minutes.
Sen. Coleman tried to convince the protesters that he's listening to Minnesotans about the Iraq War, rather than President Bush. They were rightfully skeptical. Notably, Sen. Coleman said "We shouldn't be in the middle of a civil war" in Iraq, though his Senate votes don't reflect that statement.

It's cool that he engaged with what was obviously going to be a group on the opposite end of the political spectrum from him.

It is cool. I was thinking, you know I wouldn't want a group of people coming to my house to talk to me - but then again, I'm not an elected official.
