This ad from Paul Wellstone's first run for Senate in 1990 was ground breaking, and 16 years later remains one of the best I have ever seen.

The quality is terrible, since it is from an old VERY SMALL file I had. I did a search on youtube for Wellstone ads and realized there was a major shortage - so I loaded this - bad quality and all.

    i miss senator wellstone. i met him in 1997, in tampa. i was at the state democratic convention. anyway, we were having supper, and he came over to see my then 2 y/o son, because he and his wife thought he was adorable. they sat at our table, ate dinner with us, and we just had a really nice conversation. he was one o f the good guys.

    Careful now, I think you have your ideologies a bit messed up here. What I would describe as 'liberalism' in the US is a strange mixture of social liberalism and social democracy, which are both center-left ideologies. Radical leftists are typically more along the lines of revolutionary Marxists', which practically do not exist in the US. 'Liberalism' is a much more mild ideology than some would have you think; e.g. It is considered centrist in most European countries.

    Wellstone won 2 Senate terms and died right before winning the third term.

    Jack Welch has not been Tweety's boss for eons. He's retired. The NBC franchise is firmly in the White House sphere of influence. Don't you remember Brian Williams kissing butt in his "exclusive" interview with Pres. Obama? They've Come To Jesus (or Barack) since the Bush Days--they simply want ACCESS, and they'll do what needs doing to get it. The GOP NBC is in hiding, for now. Tweety is a moderate to conservative Dem--not a progressive. He never was one, though.

    Sorry--I pushed the wrong button. I agree with your POV re: Wellstone and Carnahan. I just can't get behind ascribing every air accident to nefarious motives.

    i don't think anyone murdered jfk jr. my husband does. i think wellstone may have been, and maybe even carnahan, but jfk was a bad accident. and phranquegallo was the one who said that.

    Olbermann isn't a network. He's an individual, on a subsidiary of a network that is watched by --not millions--but hundreds of thousands. The NBC franchise knows how to play the Bread and Circus game.

    Why would anyone want to murder JFK Junior? Poor piloting, no instrument rating, dark skies and a coked up wife who was late killed him. Wellstone and Carnahan I can buy--but fluffing out the list to make it seem more portentious is just asinine.
