Coleman Camp: He Supports Steele — And Wants To Work With Him From The Senate, Too

The Hill reports that the Coleman campaign is talking down that rumor that Norm might become RNC chairman, saying that nobody has asked him about it and that he supports Steele:

“Senator Coleman believes that Chairman Steele is doing an exceptional job, is a strong voice and leader for the party,” Coleman spokesman Tom Erickson said. “And, he looks forward to working with him to build the party when he returns to the United States Senate.”

It makes complete sense for Norm to put the kibosh on this one. After all, the Politico post said this would happen “after he loses his recount fight and big donors see Michael Steele’s March numbers.”

And absolutely nobody in Norm Coleman’s position would want to legitimize a story like that.
