Yes JH2, Wellstone was a good (ultra) liberal and well liked. He was a principled ideologue and would argue passionately in support of his values and beliefs. But Wellstone understood this was politics and never turned it into a personal issue.
But let's not forget who Wellstone's political mentor was. That would be another ultra liberal. Edward "FatTeddy" Kennedy. I just had to throw that in.
Gracias, my friend.
