I miss Sen Wellstone.
I miss his unwillingness to cave towards the center and read polls to determine where he stood on issues.

Leaders who take principled stances are few and far between so they should be appreciated and lauded.

Names such as Wellstone, Bernie Sanders, Howard Dean, Sen Feingold come to mind. Unfortunately this is a short list that does not seem to be getting any longer.

4. Wellstone was a gem.
But he never had a likely run at being president.
