| Description | MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. (AllPolitics, Oct. 31) -- This year's Senate contest is not so much a new race as a continuation of the one from 1990, which resulted in Democrat Paul Wellstone's upset win over Republican incumbent Rudy Boschwitz. Boschwitz
Seeking to turn the tables in his rematch with Wellstone, Boschwitz has come back with a much more focused and disciplined campaign. And he is using the same kind of ammunition -- the incumbent's Senate record -- that his opponent used to oust him in 1990.
Wellstone eked out a two-percentage point victory that year over Boschwitz, who was the only incumbent senator in either party to lose a bid for re-election that year. With more than two weeks to go until Election Day, this year's rematch appears as if it could be as close as the 1990 contest. |
