The invaluable Uptake has provided us with video of another day of dueling DonorGate press conferences.
In the blue DFL corner, pols like Cong. Keith Ellison telling the Coleman camp they must "Put up, or you better shut up" about claims Al Franken knew something about a Texas lawsuit filed against a Coleman donor.
In red GOP corner, Minnesota Republican chair Ron Carey offers no such proof — beyond a math proof: 2 + 2 = 4.
Judge for yourself:
Caveat: This is an edited version of both parties' remarks, and I wasn't there, so I can't testify to what was left out.
Now, I'm no fan of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee's misleading DonorGate ad, but Carey claims the spot (produced independently of Franken's campaign) is "all about attacking Laurie Coleman" and that "Laurie Coleman is being viciously attacked and her character is being called into question."
Again, judge for yourself:
