Wellstone has been much better about opposing Clinton/Gore legislation than most of his lib colleagues -- especially Bernie Sanders. I remember his passionate speech on the Senate floor when welfare reform was passed. He's been good on some corporate issues as well. (He did favor the bombing of Serbia, though.) I agree that in this election, he's been full-Gore. But even in his PBS debate with Hightower, Wellstone conceded that in many ways he was much closer to Nader than to Gore. But party politics, and the fear of a Bush Fascist Regime, has, sadly, kept him within the Dem fold.
