Wellstone was a great man in the same way that Goldwater was a great man... I did not very often whole heartedly agree with him but he was a partisan who stuck to his beliefs through thick and thin and really cared about the people he represented, and that’s why he won in a comparatively moderate state… on the dem side I’d say that Feingold is the only other liberal senator who is so very principled…
Having said all that he would have been a really bad choice for VP, he might well have endorsed Kerry during the primaries had he lived (he would not have been impressed by the moderate Dean shifting his positions to appeal to the primary voters nor Kucinich who he would have seen as “a well meaning fool”) but he would not have been VP… he could well have helped in MN apart from that not really any where else… Kerry needs a moderate who can appeal across the country to moderate independents and conservative democrats such a candidate would be someone like, Mary Landrieu, Bill Nelson, Mark Warner or below my top three Evan Bayh (Warner beat him only because Bayh is so dull), Bob Graham and Phil ? (TN Gov)…
