This plane crash is freaking spooky....
Something's fishy here because Wellstone was losing in the polls, do you think The Rats would off one of their own?
In order to get a replacement?
Wellstone wasn't as spineless as Torreleci, and wouldn't drop out?

[mass55th]

Has little Tommy Daschle made a public statement yet? Where the hell is the (illegal, non-elected) leader of the Senate?

[Keith in Iowa]

The AG is WRONG...if Ventura appointed someone to fill Wellstone's term, it would be until January, not the election day - the term ends in January.

[DownWithGreenspan]

Here's how it's going to go (just a hunch, but it sounds like something the Rats would - and will - do):

NOBODY will replace Wellstone on the ballot for the Rats. The Rats can claim it's too late (as far as the absentee ballots), but the real reason is that no LIVING Rat candidate will be able to pull as many sympathy votes as the dead guy (Carnahan redux).

As is well known, Massive Democratic Vote Fraud ® is well underway in Minnesota, with the National Socialists (Nazis) invading the state to "get out the [fraud] vote" using that dirty same-day registration trick.

Coleman will lose to the corpse on Election Day, and Massive Democratic Vote Fraud ® will ensure the victory of Roger Moe, the Rat candidate for Governor. This is important because the new Governor will be the one to appoint Wellstone's replacement. Whoever Ventura sends to Washington now is irrelelvant as far as that goes, since that person would only serve for 2 months.

Wellstone was locked in a tight battle with Republican Norm Coleman in one of the nation's most closely watched races

Guess the Dems felt the need to replace him. Deal with Democrats, you gamble with your life. This election will decide the supreme court. If a democrat is losing, he/she has to be replaced - one way or another.

I think its just a bizarre accident. The campaigning thats starting before the mans seat is cold is disgusting don't the Democrats have any couth at all?

[concerned about politics]

According to FOX, Welstone was down by 4 points in the last poll. His numbers were falling.

[ChadGore]

Thoughts and prayers go out to the many loved ones of this great manand his family. Our great nation mourns the loss together.

[WriteOn]

Rebecca Yanisch, Gov. Jesse Ventura's trade commissioner and the loser in the state's 2000 U.S. Senate primary, indicated she might be interested.

That's sick. What a vulture.

[ladyinred]

Why would a replacement from Ventura only serve until election day. That is not what is supposed to happen. He should serve out Wellstones term which is until the end of the year. Are the RATS going to break yet another law? Or were those I heard today wrong?

[Man of the Right]

I'm betting Mondale if he thinks he can win.

[thathamiltonwoman]

This is disgusting. The Wellstone family's bodies haven't even been buried yet and the Dems are already fighting over his spot like a pack of feral dogs.

[EGPWS]

A statewide poll of 1,000 likely voters last week gave Wellstone a slight lead, 47 percent to 41 percent, with a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3 points.

This of course is from the unbiased Star and Sickle. I don't buy it, however it's a new ballgame now anyway.

Prayers to Paul and his family.

The Dems finally come up with a plan less controversial than the Torch episode.

Of course this is from the Star and Sickle and I don't buy it, however now it's a mute subject.

[shirleyvalentine]

I checked Sen. Paul Wellstone's voting record for this session of the senate and found it to be a carbon copy of Ted Kennedy's voting record.

No tears from this conservative.

[glorgau]

The two men collectively raised more than $19 million.

Just out of curiousity, what happens to Wellstone's campaign fund? Think it'll be spent supporting whoever is the Democratic candidate?

[Joy Angela]

******** TWO FOR TWO *********

Is it true, as the Drudge Report is headlining, that Mondale may take Wellstones Seat?

Odd how the now deceased-Wellstone was in a losing race..

The New Jersey Ballot-Switch was questionable because the candidate hadn't died...yet the Democrats were successful in replacing a losing candidate with a more Probable WIN!

And NOW, add another losing-Democrat to the heap, except this one is dead!

If this is really happening...that the Democrats are replacing LOSING candidate with more WINNING ones...

Then Presidential-Hopeful Hillary Rodham is more BEAST than even we suspect she is!

Watch Out America...LIBERTY is on the edge, EVIL is on the Prowl..and VICTORY will be HERS!

{whether we vote for it or not!)

Well, DU has links over there to these FR threads already.
