Wellstone was in a very tough, close race. One which might have decided control of the Senate on Nov. 5th. He was also on the recieving end of a last minute million dollar attack ad campaign by a shadowy right wing group. Whoever replaces him will get the sympathy vote and the advantage of not having a million dollars worth of ads attacking him.
