For those not remembering,
The Wellstone memorial became a campaign rally and fund raiser for the party.
A lot of memorials are going towards the party route. Look at the Irish...get drunk and say wonderful stories about the dead. Also many memorials are fund raisers for the persons favorite charity or to help pay the funerals. Funerals are not like the days where the deceased are in the home for a week and the family wears black for 6 months. Get with the times because it has changed big time.
Which failed miserably since Mondale took over as candidate and subsequently lost.
