GOP Sen. Norm Coleman started running this ad questioning Democrat Al Franken's temperment.
Franken responded today with this ad asking why Coleman isn't more outraged.

Coleman responded to Franken's ad with this statement:
"Standing up and fighting for Minnesotans isn't a contest to see who can lose their self-control as evidence of their passion to serve. Each and every day I fight for Minnesotans, respectfully, across party lines with my colleagues. Sometimes we disagree passionately with one another, but we don't taunt, we don't point fingers, we don't scream and we don't lose control. There is virtue in passion, but, there's also the need to be able to control yourself and to serve the people of Minnesota with dignity and respect."
I have a feeling the campaigns will rinse and repeat until November 4th.
