Minnesota Sen. Paul Wellstone hasn't even been buried yet, but that hasn't stopped fellow Democrat Hillary Clinton from invoking his death four days ago to boost the chances of her own pet candidate, Carl McCall.
With Democrat McCall trailing badly against Republican George Pataki in New York's gubernatorial contest, Mrs. Clinton invoked Wellstone's memory before a women's breakfast yesterday in New York City.
"I see a direct connection between our loss on Friday of someone who really was a unique force in American politics and this campaign Carl McCall is waging," Clinton told the group.
"Sometimes it's not easy doing what has to be done," she continued, the New York Post said.
Both Clinton and her husband are desperate to avoid an embarrassing third place finish for McCall behind Independent Party candidate, billionaire Tom Golisano.
Unless McCall can place a respectable second, the Democrats would lose not only the second line on the ballot in future elections, but thousands of patronage jobs throughout the state connected with monitoring elections.

BTW: By my above statement, I do not mean to imply that Hillary had anything to do with the death of JFK. I do know, however, that the problem happened near the area of flight 800, and I suspect something entirely different.

I must be dense! What connection does she see between a accidental plane crash & a losing democract campaign? They are both going down in flames, I guess.

Nothing would make me happier than seeing Hitlery in the Senate MINORITY and her New York Dem party come in third for Governor which would get all Dem Board of election reps out and allow Independence party members in the offcies. This would be a major blow to the normal corrupt Dem election practices.

...her own pet candidate, Carl McCallWonderful choice of words. Kind of says it all about the black candidates on the Democratic plantation.

The airplane was not burned up. The airplane was in pieces because it hit the water inverted. At 60 degree bank, load factor doubles. There are a lot of Gs on the plane when one gets into a dead man's spiral. This kind of mistake is common to low-time pilots (JFK Jr's time on that aircraft was very small.) Visibility was very poor.
