Into the will-he-or-won't-he swirl around former U.S. Sen. Norm Coleman and a possible run for governor, the Republican offers these words on Facebook:

i have the greatest respect for all your efforts on behalf of our party and conserative values. i'm not looking for another elected ofice. but i do care about whether folks in this state can find a job and take care of their families. i also have a proven record as a former mayor of growing jobs by keeping lids on taxes and reforming govt-a record of real change!
i fully respect the endorsement process-but none of us should ever be afraid of listening to the voices of the people(or the party faithful). if that was done more often washington wouldn't be about to stuff government run health care down our throats!
all my best,
norm

His non-answer answer was in response to a Republican activist's Facebook plea that if he runs, he not run in a primary.

The activist, Jennifer Jayne DeJournett, was not satisfied with Coleman's answer

"It seems to me that you are implying that the endorsement process doesn't reflect the "ppl". If you don't believe that the delegates and alternates to State Convention are the "voices of the people", then bring the "people that are missing " to the Feb 2nd Republican Caucus, BPOU Conventions and forward to the State Convention," she wrote in response.

Others who chimed in seemed more accepting of Coleman's position.
