If Wellstone came from beyond to endorse a candidate how quickly would some of you bash him?
about 1 minute would be my guess.

2. Wellstone would've endorsed the Progressive candidate,
and I wouldn't have reason to bash his endorsement of Edwards.

3. There would be stunned silence for two minutes
The guy's dead, after all.

Alive? Dead?

8. Not me. My favorite 04 candidate, Clark, endorsed my least favorite candidate of all time, Hillary
and I didn't rip on him for it. Everyone makes really, really, really, bad choices, and Clark made one when he endorsed Clinton. It happens.

9. I'd bash him really quickly.
In fact even if he endorsed my preferred candidate, I would bash him anyway. After all we would have a slightly larger majority in the Senate if he hadn't gone and got himself killer/murdered. :sarcasm:

11. A minute is a good guess.
"I wouldn't trumpet this endorsement. After all, he couldn't even fly in a plane right."

14. I'd be scared more than anything
Besides, it's not wise to bash a ghost.

15. You're correct, and Wellstone would probably have endorsed Obama.
This Wellstone quote reminds me of Obama.

"Sometimes, the only realists are the dreamers. Robert Kennedy once said, 'The future will not belong to those who are content with the present.' I think the future also will not belong to those who are cynical or those who stand on the sidelines. The future will belong to those who have passion and are willing to work hard to make our country better. The future will belong to those, in Eleanor Roosevelt's words, 'who believe in the beauty of their dreams.'"

17. Just before he was killed, I recall some folks dissing him
because he chose to run for office again instead of stepping down as he'd said he would do earlier. So my guess would be less than a minute.
