Interesting note about the Senator Wellstone situation -- Walter Mondale, the 1984 Democratic presidential candidate. has been mentioned as a possible replacement for Wellstone on the ballot or even as a replacement should Wellstone not be replaced on the ballot. I think Mondale would be an interesting choice. He, along with the son of Hubert Humphrey, may have the name wattage needed to keep this seat in the Democratic column. Wellstone was leading his competitor in the polls at the time of his death, therefore finding the right candidate to replace him either on the ballot or as an appointment after a Wellstone election is key.
