I'd rather Coleman win, than Franken get the seat under shady circumstances. If the Senate can bring pressure to make sure all the necessary votes are counted, that's fine, but it needs to be totally and completely...

Ezra Klein reminds us that today is the 6th anniversary of Paul Wellstone's tragic passing. Ezra is right when he writes the way to honor Wellstone is to help Al Franken, who was very close to Wellstone, recapture the Senate seat Paul Wellstone held from the awful Norm Coleman: Al Franken, is locked in a grindingly tight race with Norm Coleman, the principle-free...

... one of the great progressive voices of my lifetime days before election day on October 25, 2002. Paul Wellstone was the real deal. He was fearlessly liberal. He was unabashedly progressive. You always knew where he stood on any particular issue because he always stood with the little guy. He was on our side no matter what. One of my favorite quotes from Wellstone, delivered...
