1. Shots from the announcement news conference aboard the Harriet Bishop boat.

 

Coleman:

“...I announce to you today, that I want to serve the people of Minnesota as their governor..."

2. Stature shots of Coleman looking gubernatorial “We all share a common vision about how great this state can be.  Getting government out of the way and putting people back in charge.  Cutting taxes and reducing regulation to unleash our economic potential.  Giving parents more control over their own kids’ education.  Being a state that puts family, faith and freedom first.  That would change Minnesota forever.  To do those things we’ve go to win in November. And the polls say that I have the best and perhaps only chance to win against the Democrats in November.”

3.  Shots from press conference announcing Coleman's candidacy.

 

Narrator:

When Norm Coleman entered the 1998 Minnesota Gubernatorial race, the Republican party found a candidate who is the most electable conservative candidate for Governor. 

4.  Shots of Coleman handshaking with a variety of people.

 

Minnesota Republicans found the only conservative candidate who has the ability to put together a winning grass-roots coalition and the only conservative candidate who can compete with the Democrat’s strongest candidates. 

5.  Shots of Coleman in front of crowd.

 

Most importantly, Minnesota Republicans found a conservative candidate with the kind of vision and charisma that it takes to lead, to accomplish and to govern.
