Bobby Coffer

I'm afraid this is bordering on elder abuse:

The campaign manager for Congressman Howard Coble said Monday that North Carolina Senate candidate Bobby Coffer did not get permission from Coble to run an advertisement that appeared to be an endorsement of Coffer. “If he wants to do that, then that’s fine with me. He has given me his permission and he has taken pictures with me and said he would help me anyway that I want him to help. I’ve known him for 20 years, so if he wants to change his mind, that’s up to him.”

If nothing else, this tiff between Berger and Coffer has revealed one truth: Howard Coble needs to retire.
