Behind the Other FEC Report

As a follow-up to my investigation into Al Franken's star-studded first quarter FEC report, Sisyphus delves into the report from Franken's assumed opponent, Norm Coleman. It turns out paging through this document didn't quite provide the same thrills of discovery that Franken's did:

Not only is Norm's report about five times longer than Franken's, finding a celebrity among Norm's contributors is about as easy as finding a parking spot at the Star Tribune.

Nevertheless, Jim manages to uncover some fascinating nuggets. It's celebrity Minnesota style, with Glen Mason, Rachel Paulose, and the Rookie from KSTP all making cameo appearances. Read the whole thing.

Influential Minnesota celebrities still not accounted for: Fancy Ray McCloney, Kent Hrbek, Tyrel Ventura, Francisco Javier Serrano. Their endorsments could swing this entire election. With the second quarter FEC reports soon to be released, rest assured we'll be first with any breaking news on this front.
