More on the Wellstone death

More on the Wellstone death rally (a/k/a the Mondale campaign): Or is that a death rattle? Whatever it is, it ain’t pretty. We’d get mad if it wasn’t ending tomorrow, but the Star Tribune’s account of the Mondale post-debate doings reeks of morbidity. The headline is a mouthful, suggesting the Strib’s guy at the night desk is losing it too: “After an aggression-free five days, Mondale’s gloves come off.”
At this point it’s difficult to separate hopes from predictions, but here’s mine: Mondale will be putting the gloves on again and hurrying back to his board meetings on Wednesday. And if I’m wrong, unlike the members of the political class, I’ll be the first to say so and try to let you know where I went wrong.
