Sen. Wellstone Dead in Plane Crash

| No Comments

NBC News is reporting that:

Sen. Paul Wellstone, D-Minn., was killed along with seven other people, including his wife and daughter, in the Friday crash of a small plane...
I extend my condolences to the friends and family of all of those who died in this tragedy.

Update: Minnesota E-Democracy has created a memorial tribute web page to help people share their "prayers, tributes, and stories about Paul, Sheila, and Marcia Wellstone and campaign staff Will McLaughlin, Tom Lapic and Mary McEvoy."

Another Update: As you would imagine, Taegan Goddard's Political Wire is on top of the story. Goodard has links to some of the best memorial comments and some of the early speculation about the political fallout from this tragedy.
