I hadn't heard about Paul Wellstone's death until around 4:30 on Friday, and it was really shocking, but my eyes didn't get really teary until just now, when I read the NYT piece on the memorial that had this graf:
"I don't think this would be a memorial if you didn't have this bus here," said Dick Miller, 66, a retired teacher who once drove it on the campaign trail for Mr. Wellstone. "He used to walk up the stairs and say, `I love this bus. Are we ready? Let's go!' "
I don't think anything else I've read captures the human passion the way this guy did.
