They have it wrong. Paul Kirk ceases to be the Junior Senator as of
the time the polls close - regardless of the state of the election. So
they don't have a "vote" anyway.

Them's the rules.

So say the GOP's lawyers, surprise, surprise. The rules, in fact, are
not so clear. First, the Federal rules trump the state rules, and you
will note, recent history (think the 238 days the Republicans blocked the
seating of Al Franken), requires certification. At best, that can't be
done for at least 10 days, and perhaps, much longer.

Secondly, the Senate has already passed health care. If the House
decides to pass the Senate bill, health care passes without another
Senate vote, making the Massachusetts election moot vis a vis health care.

Funny, the Democrats played by the rules when the Republicans blocked the
seating of Al Franken for 238 days. Very funny, when the shoe is on the
other foot, isn't it?

So let me get this straight. You can sit here every single day and argue
politics and Global Taxing, all day long. I take weeks or longer off
from politics and come in for one important election and you are mad at
me.. Typical...

It's the quality not the quantity. Only Obama's politics have "no
rules", huh?

BTW, how much you want to bet if the Republican wins, the Democrats who
have put in Kennedy in one day and Tsongas in in two days after a
special election, will find a way to draw out the process and get their
health care bill shoved down our throats? This is all about saving Obama
and the Health Care fraud, nothing else. Fortunately, I am not the only
one to notice this, even in the heavily blue state of Mass which BTW
already has it's own version of socialized medicine...
