1. Paul Wellstone

Of course, the GOP had a conniption after that one.

2. They have conniptions over everything.

Screw 'em.

3. I lived close to where Sen. Wellstone's plane crashed. I will never

forget the emptiness of that day..and I will never forget GOP response to his memorial service. I didn't think responses like that were even possible...sadly, I learned and I anticipate that tomorrow we may experience the same. Boehner wouldn't even attend....very disrespectful.

5. Boehner wouldn't even attend....

good....I am SO sick of seeing his phony, drunken blubbering.
He would have tainted this event and ruined it.

6. The Speaker of the House refused to attend???

Tacky tacky tacky

[snappyturtle]

7. Hadn't thought of that....maybe Boehner did us a favor! wow! Who'd a thunk? nt

4. Really.

8. I'm also 53. I live in the SF bay area. Wellstone was a local guy

As admirable as he was he had a small national presence. This event is national and this is the most unique event I've see. I say this having seen and heard in person people like JFK, RFK,MLK, Harvey Milk and good old Holy Harold at UC. Mr. Obama knocked this one way out of the park.

9. Funny, I feel like tonight's event was local.
