5 years ago today

October 25th, 2007 | Posted by Smithers at 4:32 pm in Politics |

Ped put it best:

I am not one to celebrate days of a person death, because I would like to remember their life. But things changed so significantly on this day 5 years ago. In the end we lost his voice when we needed it the most.

The conscience of the Senate died that day. Our national debate would be significantly different if Paul Wellstone was still here. Democrats in particular could use his backbone these days.

In addition, Ped lost a friend and a former team mate.


William McLaughlin

Here’s to Paul and Will and all those lost near Eveleth that day. Minnesota lost a lot.

    Ped is right, we don’t celebrate, but we must remember. We need to remember that Wellstone worked for a government that does right by helping those who are left behind. And we need to use that memory to inspire others to follow in Wellstone’s footsteps.

    Thanks for mentioning Will. I remember him from the Boehm’s “race” team. He was a good kid.
