What a sad thing.......Words can't express what the remainder of his family must be feeling tonight.

Paul Wellstone was indeed a good man. There are a lot of good people out there, but generally by the time one reaches any kind of "station" in political life, they have been so "co-opted" (a good old 60's expression) that any vestige of the original person is long gone and they are simply another stooge to the money and the power. Very, very, few can maintain the honor, courage, and dignity that Wellstone did. Here in Ohio, we were fortunate to have Howard Metzenbaum for a number of years. The country has lost a precious commodity.
