Rocket Man, I agree that

Rocket Man, I agree that Wellstone was wrong about virtually everything and that this is the most publicly-relevant test of him as a politician. I certainly would voted against him if I lived in Minnesota and would llikely have devoted time and money to the campaigns of those who ran against him. However, from what I could tell (and not having followed him that closely I may be wrong), Wellstone had the courage of his convictions, which I find admirable. Such courage, if he had it, might not have distinguished him from Helms and Jackson, Jr., but it would have distinguished him from Daschle, Gore, and so many others.
