"I can't put my finger on what it means or how you can quantify it, but there is so much more energy than there was two or three weeks ago." -- Illegitimate Senate Plurality Leader, Tom Daschle, D-SD, expressing glee that the death of Paul Wellstone might save his party this election year.
For all those black helicopter folks and conspiracy nuts out there, it is clear that the Democrats have more to gain from Wellstone's death than Republicans.
UPDATED: Gov. Ventura is considering appointing an independent to fill Wellstone's seat, after last night's political rally disguised as a 'memorial service'. Ventura reportedly walked out of the service after hearing Democrats used Wellstone's death as a rallying cry to vote for them. What most incensed Ventura was when Rick Kahn stood up and begged for voters to "help us win this Senate election for Paul Wellstone."
The dems also booed any Republicans that had showed up to pay their respects to Senator Wellstone.
It is clear that the Democrats will do anything for political gain; no matter how illegal, tasteless, or immoral.
Ventura DID walk out in disgust. That says a lot.
When an ex-professional wrestler finds the hucksterism too intense for HIS TASTES, things are really in the dog-food bowl.
I don't eat there.

Mondale's now the replacement for Wellstone. In 1984, Mondale criticized Reagan for being too old for public office. At the time, Reagan was 73. Mondale is 74 now.
