Honestly, the republicans need to just sit back and say nothing about this fiasco "memorial"... not a one of them should open their mouths about it... everyone saw it for what it was, there is no need to go out indignant. Jesse's doing a great job, and he can't be tarred as being a partisan in this matter. I swear, if the republicans go out and open their mouths, other than direct and solemn answers to direct questions (not acting out of rage, or indignation) "IE.. I am truly saddened to see a great man like Wellstone and his career and memory cheapened..." When asked directly, and NOTHING MORE.. don't broach it don't ask for airtime to talk about, just play it quiet, give regards to his surviving family.
If the republicans snatch defeat from the jaws of victory out of sheer stupidity again, I'll scream... Let the talking heads deal with it, they are flambaying the DFL.. heck even the organizers of the thing have publicly admitted what it became... there is no way the Dems can put a good spin on this... let the press fry them for what they did.. let Jessie and the public flambe them... Republicans should just honor the man, and behave with a decorum the Dems obviously are incapable of doing.
