If the DFL had such talent why did they run a carter era retread like Mondull?

After Wellstone's death, the state DFL needed a big big name that they could put up immediately.

It's my understanding that there were a number of DFL officeholders who wanted to run but were asked to step aside for Mondale.

Because State Supreme Court Justice and former Minnesota Vikings star Alan Page probably wanted to sit it out. This is the guy we need to watch for in this race.

If the DFL had such talent why did they run a carter era retread like Mondull? Duh. They had two weeks. You can have all the talent in the world, if you have no name ID, your screwed.
