Our friends at Real Clear

Our friends at Real Clear Politics are convinced that Mondale wins going away; the Trunk seems to agree. Maybe, but I’m not so sure. Mondale has been out of public life for eighteen years and is not very well known to a whole generation of voters. I agree he’ll carry the geriatric set, but Wellstone would have done that too. A lot depends on how much Wellstone’s negative ads have hurt Coleman. From a standing start, I think Coleman would beat Mondale. Most voters are ready for a new generation of leadership, I think. Anyway, I could be crazy, but I’m not so sure Mondale will run better than Wellstone would have, and if he doesn’t it’s anyone’s race.
