An enthusiastic cheer went up as former Vice President Walter Mondale and his wife, Joan, accompanied by Sen. Joseph Lieberman, D-Conn., entered the arena to the strains of "Love Train." Democratic party officials have been urging Mondale, who served 12 years in the Senate, to take Wellstone's place on the ballot for the Nov. 5 general election. The crowd also cheered former Vice President Al Gore as he entered.
Gov. Jesse Ventura was booed.
Funny, there was never any cheering or booing at any of the memorial services I went to.
