Wellstone was the Democrats' best hope to hold onto control of the Senate. According to the polls, he was going to be
reelected. Since his wife was also killed, she won't
be able to stand in for him. This is unlike the Mel
Carnahan situation in which he also died in a plane
crash but his wife was able to take his place. It
should be remembered that John Ashcroft was actually
defeated by a dead guy (Mel Carnahan) in Missouri.
That demonstrates the popularity of Ashcroft, the
current Gauleiter of the Beltway. The laws are a
little unclear - but what a stroke of luck for the
Republicans.
