He was woefully incorrect in his beliefs, but at least they were core beliefs. I thought he was a sincere, if misguided, politician.

Give me a cynic over a true believer as an opponent any day. Still, I did not wish for such misfortune to befall him.

Even at room temperature, he is still brainer than Pat Murray, Barbara Boxer, Mark Dayton and possibly even Debbie Stabenow.

Ditto. I liked Wellstone because he was a hardcore lib who actually believed big government was the cure-all for all of America's problems and didn't try to hide that belief. He was a proud liberal unlike John Kerry and other big name libs who didn't have the guts to admit it. Like all true blue libs Wellstone had no faith in the average american's ability to solve his or her own problems. At least he was up front about it.

He sincerely wanted to help the average American. What he and all libs didn't and still don't understand is that the average american doesn't need their "help". He never understood that the morass of mostly bad Dem/liberal generated legislation held Americans down and didn't propel them to the promised land. It stuck them in a quagmire which many still can't get out of.
