Talking about Wellstone being against the big "agro-businesses" in Minnesota, isn't Walter Mondale an attorney for the huge grain conglomerate CONTINENTAL GRAIN, an offshoot of the French giant GRAN COMPAGNIE CONTINENTAL?
Does anyone have any info on this?
Talents(R) father died. He's suspending his campain until after the funeral.
His oponant, Callihan(D) is using the political time to pound more nails in his coffin. Where's the press?
Excuse me if I feel no pain over "St. Welstones" death. Democrats never stop campaining.
Here is a copy of Walter Mondales bio from the Dorsey & Whitney web site.
