Say, Norm?

Not a chance.

On August 4th, during RentGate, Coleman spokesman Mark Drake promised to check with the campaign, and provide an actual utility bill for the media to examine, for two reasons: 1 – to prove Coleman was actually paying the actual amount, and 2 – to show Norm’s utilities weren’t being paid by a corporation.

Drake never did.

On October 30th, I witnessed this exchange at a Team Coleman press conference:

REPORTER: Mark we know that Senator Coleman pays $600 a month in rent, right?

Mark Drake: (right.)

REPORTER: We still don’t haven’t had an answer on utility bills, and we asked a few months ago if you could produce those to see how much he’s really paying – do you have an answer for us now?

Mark Drake: You know, this has all been dealt with months ago.

REPORTER: No, it hasn’t been. We haven’t seen a utility bill yet and it would be good to see those.

Mark Drake: OK, I’ll see what I can do.

REPORTER: We should have seen them by now.

Mark Drake: OK.

So, tomorrow, Team Coleman will have successfully stonewalled a very simple question:

“Who’s name is on Senator Coleman’s utility bills for his Washington, D.C. apartment?”
