WASHINGTON (AP) -- Minnesota Sen. Norm Coleman -- who quit the Democratic Party 12 years ago to become a Republican -- has accused likely Democratic opponent Al Franken of changing positions, demeanor and rhetoric in his attempt to win a Senate seat.

Coleman makes the charge in a fundraising e-mail sent out this week with the subject line, ''It's Hard to Deny this Kind of Evolution.''

''After decades of carrying the flag for radical left-wing causes, his extremely liberal viewpoints are couched in softer, more acceptable terms,'' Coleman writes of the former ''Saturday Night Live'' star. ''And for the most part, he's stopped using curse words in public.''

Al Franken, like every Democrat in America, takes a poll to see which way the wind is blowing.


The Democrat Party "sickens me"!!

You and me both, and Franken has a little tax evasion thrown in here to be further disgusted to boot.

Yes, they'll just about say and do anything to win - I know Stuart Smalley here will say or do anything at all to win Coleman's Senate seat, but Norm could make a great attack aid by just re-airing any given one of Franken's little-seen little-heard "Airhead America" broadcasts.
