(15,265 posts)Here are some quotes attributed to the late great Senator.
Paul Wellstone/Quotes:
"Never separate the life you live from the words you speak."
"Politics isn't about big money or power games; it's about the improvement of people's lives."
"The people of this country, not special interest big money, should be the source of all political power."
"The first task in teaching is to bring to consciousness what the students already believe by virtue of their personal experiences about themselves and society."
"Politics is not about winning for the sake of winning.
Sometimes, the only realists are the dreamers."Wellstone was also a member of the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party.

A party who's idualism is Social Liberalism.
I would argue the the late Senator would probably align with the Senator from Vermont in this race.
