Wellstone. > Remember the > son getting up at the mic and chanting: We will win, We will win! Right. As you noted, it was right before the election. Wellstone had been running for reelection, you see. Wellstone was an exceptionally popular crusading senator in Minnesota and among progressives. "We will win" was an expression of hope that his legacy would be carried on. Such expressions are quite common at funerals. > And the > booing of republicans that attended the funeral. Such Class! This was *wildly* exaggerated by the right wing. There were only a few people who booed Trent Lott. The right wing pretended it had been the whole audience. I wonder how many would have booed had it been the funeral of a wildly popular Republican senator who had been tragically killed just before running for reelection, and former president Clinton had walked in. ------------------------ Yahoo!
