Minnesota Election Reflects the Nation
The bizarre morphing of Sen. Paul Wellstone's memorial into a political rally tilted Minnesota, and maybe other states, into the Republican column Tuesday, Steve Perry concludes in a City Pages (Twin Cities) story. Perry doesn't hold out much hope the Democrats will rise from the ashes of this defeat. He speculates centrist Dems will "broker the candidacies of another wave of pale Republican wanna-be's," part of a trend that had turned even the fiery Wellstone " into a love slave of the party."
