two examples of jokes that really will save this thread.
anti-obama critics, it's one thing to criticize the guy (take your shots, we live in america), but comparing and contrasting him with junior bush isn't gonna get it done.

Wouldn't this be a good time to change all the laws relating to appointment of Senators? If members of the House of Representatives cannot be appointed, why should Senators? Why not just hold a special election when a Senator steps down for whatever reason.
This is particularly problematic if the state's governor is of a different party than the Senator being replaced. If voter's elected a Senator of one party, and they leave office before their term is expired, it doesn't seem right that a state's governor of another party could potentially change the balance of power in the Senate. That's not an issue right now in this case, but certainly could have come into play in other situations with such an evenly divided Senate in recent years.
I know Dick Durbin has called for a special election, and that seems like it is possible. Hopefully that sets a precedent for other states when Senators need to replaced.
