TIM NOAH writes about why conservatives seem to miss Paul Wellstone more than liberals. But does this mean there will be lots of sad farewell columns written by the left when Jesse Helms expires?

UPDATE: This, on the other hand, is just plain mean.

ANOTHER UPDATE: Just noticed that Oliver Willis seems to have missed the point — or perhaps commented without reading Tim Noah’s piece. Noah’s point was that conservatives liked Wellstone because, being to the left of most Democrats, he made them look more extreme than they were. Hence the Helms point.
