Minnesota Republicans - fresh from a near sweep in Tuesday's elections - are looking ahead to the future. But many Democrats can't seem to move beyond last week's Wellstone memorial service. The public ceremony was seen by many as a partisan political rally and has been called the spark that motivated Republican voters. Much focus has been put on Rick Kahn, Wellstone's campaign treasurer and close friend, whose speech ignited much of the controversy. Trent Gegax (GHEE-gacks) is a correspondent for Newsweek magazine. He conducted the only media interview Rick Kahn has given since the Wellstone memorial service. Gegax says Kahn is in an unfortunate, and perhaps undeserved, position.
