I'm blanking; who is this candidate?
Say, come to think of it, Teddy Kennedy was campaigning for Wellstone the day of the plane crash. You reckon he was expected to be aboard that flight?
From what I understand, he was not. His campaigning was done and he was visiting Mondale, of all people, or something like that.
The one who gave the keynote speech for Clinton's renomination at the Dem National Convention in '96, perhaps meant as an accomodation to the *Kennedy Wing* of the party. But was squelched as a VP-candidate for Gore due to a little skeleton in his closet being uncovered, and Lieberman was picked instead.
From what I understand, he was not. His campaigning was done and he was visiting Mondale, of all people, or something like that.
Correct; he was however in the state campaigning, though not together with Wellstone. And it's not such a stretch to imagine that he and the candidate would have been getting together to meet at some point, though any plans to do so would have been changed *just in time*. Or perhaps weather intervened; campaigning schedules are often fragile things, subject to changes and last-minute rearrangement, and of course, inclement weather.
