What am I missing AuntyM. The senate is a 6 year term. A pardon may be coming, but the democratic run congress will toss him anyway, which they should do regardless. Todd, with the election on Tuesday, many ballots have been cast and its unlikely a new candidate could even be put on the ballot. Even more unlikely that a new ballot could be printed. SInce he insists on running my guess is he will lose or be tossed out. Win and get tossed out and more people will be pissed off at the republicans. Lose or withdraw and the democrats get what they want. The party has one choice if they want to keep that seat in the future.
