MN SEN: Key Coleman Staffer Up For State Job

Cullen Sheehan, campaign manager for Sen. Norm Coleman's re-election bid, is a candidate for chief of staff to the MN Senate Republican Caucus, according to a State House source.
Sheehan has been speaking for the Coleman team during the recount. Might his departure signal that the Coleman folks know the end is in sight?
Michael Brodkorb, communications director for the MN Senate Republican Caucus, could not confirm that Sheehan is in the mix. "I just don't have any information or any comment on any staffing decisions," he said.
But our State House source says that the job, by law, must be posted for 10 days, and it has only been up since late last week. So don't expect an announcement about Sheehan -- if he gets the gig -- until next week.
Brodkorb, who worked for Coleman's 1998 gubernatorial campaign, blogged about the Al Franken tax issue on the Web site Minnesota Democrats Exposed.
