Gonna Harden My Heart

Okay maybe the trip was worthwhile after all:

U.S. Sen. Norm Coleman, a Republican from Minnesota, is reportedly hardening his position on Cuba just 24 hours into a visit to the Communist-run nation, a source in his four-member delegation told Reuters on Saturday.

Coleman has in the past favored easing the more than four-decade-old U.S. embargo on Cuba, even though President Bush strongly supports the sanctions.

"The senator is hardening his position and now wants to see movement on human rights before a further loosening of sanctions," said a member of Coleman's delegation who asked not to be named.
