Time has an interesting piece on how the Wellstone memorial/rally helped sink the Democrats nationally.

The Wellstone memorial service made the Democrats look shrill, excessively partisan, and tactless to the extreme. Then again, that’s exactly the way in which the vast majority of the Democratic Party had been acting long before the Wellstone memorial.

The great irony here is that that Wellstone probably would have wanted his funeral done as such.
