There are two important polls, providing they are not manipulated by Zogby types: The one that reflects the sickening reaction of Minnesotans to last night, and the one that will reflect their shock and dismay at seeing Mondale try to debate. The latter will be reflected for the first time at the polls, given the lateness of the hour. Coleman 54%, Mondale 46%. And the court cases will dry up and disappear...

Perhaps the Democrats figured not inviting Larry Flynt was enough of a sop to the pesky moralists in Minnesota. They were wrong...

Is it fair?? In Minnesota voters are being called by Republican campaign workers and urged to ask for absentee ballots. They are now being assisted in requesting absentee ballots by campaign workers. There goal is to encourage a very high percentage of voters to use the absentee ballots. Think of it, if a high percentage of voters in MN used absentee ballots then Coleman could win since none of the votes cast for Wellstone will be counted. Since there are no rules in MN to prevent this, getting more voters to use the absentee ballots will give the Coleman an edge over the Democratic Senatorial candidate who most likely be former VP Mondale. Any coments? Tom

foxnews.com ST. PAUL, Minn. — Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura, upset by what he felt was a partisan tone of a memorial service to honor the late Sen. Paul Wellstone, said he will try to appoint an independent instead of a Democrat to fill Wellstone's seat until a new candidate is certified. Ventura had said he favored a replacement from Wellstone's party, but that was before he walked out of Tuesday night's memorial service. Ventura referred to a speech by one of Wellstone's closest friends, Rick Kahn, in which Kahn said to the crowd, "I'm begging you to help us win this Senate election for Paul Wellstone." "I wanted to hear the sons. But Rick Kahn's, I found his so offensive to me as an Independent, or to anyone who is not necessarily going to vote for Senator Wellstone who still respects him and came to pay their respects," Ventura said. "It drove the first lady to tears." "I will try to find an independent," Ventura said Wednesday on a talk radio show. He did not say who he might name. A temporary appointee would fill the seat until Tuesday's election results are certified. Democrat Walter Mondale is expected to enter the race against Republican Norm Coleman.
