There are very few liberal who are honest about what they are and he was one. It was interesting how there was talk about the Iraq resolution and how Wellstone could not vote in favor without seeming inconsistent. Implied in the comment is that consistentcy was one of the man's attributes. Almost unheard of amoung Democrats. Moynahan is the only other one that comes to mind.

I liked him. I disagreed with him consistently, but I always thought he believed what he said. Recall he was the only Democrat on the Senate Judiciary committee who said that they were using litmus tests and ideology to block Bush judges. Now everyone knew that was true, but he was the only one, the only one, who would admit it.

Moynahan is the only other one that comes to mind. ... Zell Miller, Sam Nunn also come to mind. Thirty-five years ago the Democrat Party was filled with men like these - anti-Communist, pro-America Democrats. Unfurtunately, as the Left took over, these men were purged in favor of men like David Bonior, Ron Dellams, John Conyers, and assorted other Marxists. Not satisfied with only one Party, the Left is now very busy attempting to take over the Republicans as well.
