I am a lot more impressed by Ventura walking out than Lott...

Ventura is a true independent. If the independent voters who will decide this race had the same reaction as Jesse, Coleman might just pull this out afterall...

The best news is that this is a big story in MN. It don't matter a damn what the rest of the country thinks, but if it isn't playing well in MN, that's what matters. I guess we won't know that till Nov 5th.

Hope so, but that's a big "if." Additionally, Ventura's local popularity is at a low ebb these days.

This was pretty sickening tonight. Although I'm against pretty much every single thing Wellstone stood for, out of respect of the death of a Senator, I watched the service. I turned it off soon after. I should not be surprised that this happened tonight, but damn, you would think they would at least leave politics out of a funeral service.

I am also impressed with Ventura on this one. I didn't think he had enough brain cells to walk out. His wife must have prompted him.

Me, too. That action by the Venturas may actually help. He's a funny guy, sometimes infuriating, sometimes right on the money. I do hope this funeral turns off the independents, and they are the ones who may be influenced by the Venturas walkout. Democrats need independent votes to win any election just like Republicans do.

BTW, what else did anybody expect of Democrats, particularly the really lefty wing? They use EVERYTHING to their advantage, all the time and feel perfectly justified in doing so (just like telling any lie if it will work). It's just the hard left in action. This funeral was never going to be anything else than just what it was.

Is it hate speech to say I hate these particular DEMOCRATS?!?!?!
