A "Reverse Wellstone"? Please elaborate. The DemocRATs cannot possibly turn this in their favor. Iraq is wrapping up victoriosly, with unanimous approval from the UN, jobs gains are up, the economy is hot, Bush's opinion numbers are up, and best of all, Kerry has peaked. It's all over.
That's my clumsy way of saying that the left will, I think, turn public opinion against them with their behavior following President Reagan's death just as they turned public opinion against them with their behavior at the Wellstone funeral.
Reverse, because regardless of whether the deceased is one of their own or from the opposition party, they manage to get the backlash.
