Wellstone

"All right, Democrats. This is a terrible thing, a blind shot from an unfeeling Providence. However, to quote Joe Hill, don't mourn. Organize! There is now no excuse for timidity, no rationale by which anyone should stay home. Drown the polls with voters. Everywhere. The odds are now pretty good that the WH is going to get the control that it wants. If you want to memorialize Paul Wellstone, do it with a Democratic Senate."
- Battlin' Bob

"It's just too much. Tomorrow I'll organize. Today I just want to curl up and cry."
- Lenora

The Nation ran a good profile of Wellstone last May. Josh Marshall has some appropriate comments. Don Hazen has weighed in. Tapped has collated some of the best commentaries on Wellstone's life and career. Cursor.org has archived their coverage. And, finally, the Star Tribune has an entire tribute page dedicated to Wellstone.

Beyond the above, there's not much to say. I've been surprise by how much this news has affected me today. It's just devastating.
