Could be because Wellstone's campaign manager said, "Honor Paul and vote straight democrat" in a news clip. This was Sunday, two days after the crash.

...not to mention Lieberman et al. doing their best to jack up democrat turnout "to honor Wellstone."

 

Notwithstanding this, the Wellstone family's reasoning suffers from transitive fallacy as well as crass political calculation.

 

It is more than a little ironic that the so very honorable Wellstone was ultimately done in by not honoring his "2 term" pledge.
