| Mention of Wellstones at the DNC? |
|
Edited on Fri Jul-30-04 07:59 AM by Krupskaya
I didn't get to watch all of the coverage, and I haven't seen anything here. Was there any mention or recognitions of the Wellstones during the convention? Like a video, or did any of the speakers mention them?
Going to the Eighth District convention and the state convention felt kinda empty without him this year. So I was wondering what it was like at the national convention.
Edited because I'm an editor.

"Minnesota - the home of Hubert Humphrey {cheers) and Paul and Sheila Wellstone (even more cheers)"
