Ahhh...but to THEM, Wellstone's death was a blessing because he wasn't doing well in the polls. They could care less about people dying. People low, vile things to them. Just ask them...they'll tell you.
The DISASTER to them was the idea their lunacy during the memorial/celebration/campaign-kickoff rally may have cost them the election. It may not have made much difference, either...of all the has-beens they could dig up and dust off, MONDALE was the worst possible choice.
