27. I'm no fan at all of Ventura, for many of the

reasons that have already been stated in this thread. However, to my memory, he did not appoint a conservative, or anyone else, to Wellstone's seat after his sudden death. Norm Colepuke (uh, sorry, I meant Coleman) was already running as his republican opponent and the election was only a few weeks after Wellstone't plane crash; Walter Mondale was tapped by the Dems to replace Wellstone on the ballot. Coleman won the election (gag, choke, bleh!), he was not appointed by Ventura. And the only reason he won, to my mind, was the hatchet job the wingers and the media did on Wellstone's memorial service and Coleman's barely-concealed grave-dancing.
