Sen. Wellstone campaign flier shows up at area residences

It would've been pure irony to put this in LBN, but, more likely belongs here. I like the bit about

The mailing urges recipients to "call Paul" and lists a phone number now registered to U.S. Senator Norm Coleman, who took over Wellstone's office after defeating Walter Mondale for the seat weeks after Wellstone's death.

That's right, give ol Normie a call - let him know what you think.

Sen. Wellstone campaign flier shows up at area residences

By Chris Hubbuch / Winona Daily News

Christine Rinn was surprised last week to find a campaign flier for the late Sen. Paul Wellstone next to the student loan statement and cosmetics sample in her mailbox.

"I had to stop the lady next to me and ask, ‘This is the guy who died in the plane crash, isn't it?'" said Rinn, a registered independent voter from Minnesota City. "So why am I getting it now?"

The arrival of the fliers in some Minnesota mailboxes have puzzled voters as well as officials at the Minnesota DFL and the U.S. Post Office.

At least three Minnesota City residents received the fliers, which were paid for by the Minnesota DFL and mailed on the organization's nonprofit bulk mail permit in support of the senator who died in a plane crash in October 2002.
