Obama, Wellstone a “gadfly.”

I couldn’t help but think of David Sirota’s article about Obama in The Nation, Mr. Obama goes to Washington, in which Obama refers to Wellstone as a gadfly.  Gadfly is defined as; a persistent irritating critic; a nuisance.

In a similar vein and a must read is Harper’s Magazine’s, Barack Obama Inc.
