Thread Name: Wellstone Memorial
Subject: RE: Wellstone Memorial
I thought the "Memorial" service was shameful. To turn what was to be a memorial service into a political rally cannot, in my opinion, be described as anything less. And after the Democratic party ranted and railed that the Republican candidate wasn't being respectful of the Wellstone's need to mourn. That candidate ceased all campaigning while the Democrats turned a memorial service into a political pep rally. Maybe everything is supposed to be fair game in politics, but I think the whole thing was in very poor taste.
