It then links to a story on Huff Post which suddenly disappears after a second or two...?

>>On Oct. 20, 2010, Jenny Oropeza died after a lengthy illness.

>>A special election will be held to put another Democrat in her place in the vacant seat. Oropeza died on October 20th “of complications from a blood clot in her abdomen” following a long battle with liver cancer.

Well, Dems don’t require a pulse to vote, so...

As I see it Democrats usually rely on a lot of dead voters, so it follows that they might as well run a dead candidate. You know, appeal to their core voting bloc.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

Duhhhh. Dead starts wit “D” and so dus “Democrat.” Tell me which button to push to vote for duh Democrat. I don’t care if she’s alive or dead.

Seeing how California just signed its own death warrant, it's logical that the voters' intent was to fill the state legislature with corpses. Are they going to invalidate the will of the people of California by appointing someone else to this rightfully won seat?

[Tax-chick]

I voted for a dead man in ‘08 ... candidate for County Soil and Water Supervisor, or something like that. I assume he’s done an adequate job in the post, since we still have soil and water in the county.

A more accurate headline would be Democrats elect a dead woman, but I guess that would be too telling of the Demos state of mind. . .

California REPUBS should sue arguing that the state should not discriminate against the deceased (which would happen if a special election were held). Voters in that district, in their wisdom, can simply be represented by said elected official (too bad if she cannot push the freaking vote button on the house floor).

[Clintons Are White Trash]

Thank heavens, I don’t feel so bad about that dead Carnahan vote in Missouri now.

[Retired Greyhound]

I’m sure many dead people vote for her, too

[dangus]

Yeah, but at least she’s not speaker any more.

[Red Badger]

BOXER?.........

[stormer]

The story here isn’t that a dead person got elected. The story is that the Republicans fielded such a poor candidate they couldn’t beat a dead person.

[DannyTN]

This will never work!!!

Never send a zombie to Washington. There aren’t any brains there to eat!

Apparently there aren’t any in California either.

[zeugma]

He should contest the election results as the other candidate wasn’t qualified to serve, by virtue of her having assumed room temperature.

[Riodacat]

Generally the people we elect are only dead from the neck up..

[napscoordinator]

Wow. That Republican must have been a horrible candidate to lose to a women who died two weeks prior to the election. Was he a RINO???

[Kozak]

So what else is new. They elected a brain dead Governor and Senator.
