asherisA candlelight vigil in memory of Senator Paul Wellstone will be held at the State Capitol in St. Paul, Minnesota, this evening beginning at 5:30pm CST.
The Wellstone campaign headquarters in St. Paul has become a memorial site of sorts, with posters, cards, notes, and signs being left.
The Wellstone Family has asked that in lieu of flowers, anyone who wishes to remember Paul, Sheila, and Marcia, please make a donation to a food shelf or other charity.
The statement on the Wellstone site is heartbreaking.
Most campaigns in Minnesota have been suspended at least for today.
The Wellstone campaign was due to start a new ad campaign today, called "Represent". They showed it on WCCO tv, and it's good- an absolute tear-jerker (especially the last shot, of him and Sheila) considering what's happened.
I keep thinking about going over for the vigil, but I hate crying in public, so I don't know. It's already going to be insanely crowded, wouldn't be able to get anywhere near it. There are crowds around the campaign office, and now they're showing scenes from the capitol and it's pretty well packed.
Damn. This just isn't real.
