Palin, the state's chief executive, who was McCain's running mate, would be well positioned to win such an election, despite the unflattering reviews of her vice-presidential candidacy.
See, this is like the Missouri (?) race where the dead guy beat John Ashcroft. We all thought it was funny, until Bushie appointed Ashcroft to be AG, when it stopped being funny.
Same thing with Stevens -- he deserves to lose, but having his seat filled by that vapid nitwit is abhorrent. I can't think of anyone who would be less qualified to serve in Congress.
Another's dad bought one for some outrageous price (like $5000 back in the mid-90s) and discovered it sprawled out on the floor of its cage with its feet sticking up when he took its cover off after the first night. Turns out it wasn't dead, it just sleeps that way for some reason, but it nearly did him in with shock thinking he'd just thrown that much money away.
BWAHAHAHAHA!!! Oh, seeing this in my mind is making me laugh and laugh.
It was pining for the fjords.
Scappy, you said exactly what I was thinking.
Also, there's strong sentiment to kick Leiberman
Oh, if only those words were true for my country...
Also? made it to the new Natter. Slap my virtual hand, top 500!
Edit: oh, and congrats Auntie shrift! You'll be, as always, awesome. Not that we talked much, but hey, before I delurked here I thrived on BRQG.

Biden may not resign from his position until after he's made veep, which would allow a Dem governor to replace him.
The current governor of DE is a Democrat. She's been a little on the outs with Biden or the party there though, according to my mom, so it may be that she won't appoint exactly who Biden and the rest of the party wants appointed. I can't remember all the ins and outs but I know Biden had been grooming his son Beau to replace him eventually. Now Beau is being deployed to Iraq until, I think, 2010. So I think Biden wants someone in who'd do it for a short time and then they'd hold a special election in which Beau can run for the seat. I may be wrong on a few details but the current and the gov-elect are both Dems.
