Tom Bartel forgot to mention the crowd (Forgiving Rick Kahn)– which started the first unfortunate move to create a partisan politcal event by booing the Republicans and clapping for the Democrats.

And that behavior can be traced back to bitterness from the highly negative campaign Coleman chose to run against Wellstone.
