According to Minn law he has to be replaced on the ballot, so we won't see the kind of scheming we've seen in recently NJ or the spector of someone losing to a dead man as in Mo(?).

The MO debacle was good and bad. Good b/c John Ashcroft is an evil evil evil puke. Bad b/c now the whole world has to deal with him.

Mel Carnahan was a great governor, and he is sorely missed. Given her lack of experience, Jean Carnahan has not done too bad as a Senator. On the other hand, Jim Talent isn't a bad guy either (he was a congressman previously in the western St. Louis suburbs).

Sycamore breaks down the NJ election mess:

--Forrester: a puke
--Torricelli: a puke
--Lautenberg: the man who can apparently do no wrong
--What the democrats did: Shady, but necessary from the democrats' point of view
--Would the republicans have done it if in the same position?: Likely, but the dems have particularly shown their great ability to be stuntmen in recent times.
