It makes me sad, and sick, to see a memorial service turned into a political rally.

The remembrances turned political when the first of four speakers to talk about Wellstone, campaign treasurer Rick Kahn, took the podium.

"We are going to win this election for Paul Wellstone."

Several times throughout his speech, Kahn begged the Democratic crowd to vote on November fifth to keep Wellstone's legacy alive.

Kahn even called on Republican senators in attendance to stand up in the election's final days and to urge others to keep Wellstone's dreams going forward.

This looks like it might backfire on the "democratic" party in the state though.
