To solve a murder, ask "Cui bono?"

The easy answer: Terry McAuliffe, Tom Daschle and the Democrat Party.

The GOP benefitted from Wellstone's presence. He exerted a leftward pull that forced Dems to give lip service to pacify the militant left wing. Luckily, he couldn't make them risk their jobs on principle, so they almost always voted against him on those issues most sacred to him.

Just look at a still picture of Tom Daschle standing behind Mondale. Does he look like he's okay with Wellstone's demise? He looks scared, IMO.
