Just to offer my two cents (being a Minnesotan and having my brother work for Boschwitz) - Wellstone WAS a good man. I really do find it hard to believe that there was a more compassionate, caring man in either chamber, for that matter. Now, he was 1000% wrong in his way of thinking, but he truly was one of those people who acted in accordance with what he thought would make life better for people, not solely just to keep getting himself re-elected and stay in power. That's why he would have won again, had he lived (and I can't help but wonder if he thought of his breaking his pledge not to run again on the way down).

He supported gun-control, which is in direct and flagrant violation of the Bill of Rights. At least one of the bills he supported would have sentenced Americans to 5 years in jail for simply exercising their 2nd amendment Rights at gun shows.

Yeah, a great man.
