"Wellstone, in taking up opposition to the Invasion of Iraq, surged in the polls, going from a tie to 7-9% ahead. This was the beginning of the opposition, not the end, Wellstone's victory was to be a rejection of the warmongers, but not now, he's gone; a turning point it is, but for whom, or toward which direction, remains unknown."

ok, my bad. didn't realize there had been a surge. prior to that my recollection is that he was doing quite poorly for an incumbent.
