Coleman deflects questions about running for RNC Chair
Former GOP Sen. Norm Coleman was on CNN earlier today and was asked about the report that say he's mulling a possible challenge to RNC Chair Michael Steele. Coleman didn't say he was running but he also didn't say he wasn't.
Norm Coleman: "The reality is there has been concerns about the RNC, that's a reality. The fundraising hasn't been what a lot of folks would like, etc. but that's not the focus of right now. The other side wants to get off almost 10 percent unemployment, they want to get off of the huge deficits. We want to keep the focus on Democrats."
Wolf Blitzer: I'll take that as being wide open
James Carville: Sounds like we got a candidate in December
Coleman: "I'm working with Chairman Steele."
