Senator Paul Wellstone was clearly a man true to his convictions. That is why he had the balls to be the only Senator to vote against Bush on the Iraq question. He knew his seat was in jeopardy as a result, which may be why he chose to continue criss-crossing the state in terrible weather during these critical final days of the campaign.
In other words, he died fighting for his convictions, with his loved ones at his side supporting him. A good way to go in my opinion.
An excerpt from the posted link from conservative writer Peggy Noonan:
"when you disagree with someone on politics and you know the person you're disagreeing with isn't cynical or mean but well meaning and ardent and serious--well, that isn't souring or embittering. That's democracy, the best of democracy, what democracy ought to be about. "
