The widow Carnahan from Missouri was a Senator...her husband died a week or so before the election...and the Missouri governor appointed her as the next governor. She was a dutiful obedient voter for Harry Reid for a couple of years.

Recalling her situation made me think of this.

If Chris can't run, can his wife?

Good question —

I guess people want to split the vote and elect a Dem? The country is at stake, and for all his warts, Cochran will vote with the GOP to organize the Senate. REID must go!

A sore loser law?

Brilliant!

Biting my tongue..

[HMS Surprise]

Yes, she can. And everything should be done to keep cockroach out of the Senate. These people are snakes and need to be eliminated with ALL available means!

[grania]

Constitutional conservatives are not for the most part racist, and we have to do everything we can to defeat the disgusting tactics of Cocharan and his allies. If McDaniels wins through the courts and recounts that eliminate the illegal votes, great.

If not, vote for the dem. It's like a double vote against Cocharan. And it shows loud and clear conservative disgust for the racist tactics Cocharan's team engaged in.

Well I assume ANYBODY could run as a write in, it’s not as if they could break down your door and arrest you if you were telling people to write your name on the ballot. The question is could McDaniel be elected if he “won” or would the votes just be thrown out?

[HMS Surprise]

Yeah, my bad.

She has two young boys. They are more important than we are.

According to state law, write-in candidates are permitted only as the legitimate substitute
of a candidate who has died, resigned, withdrawn or been removed from the race.

That applies to every race, whether it’s a primary, special or general election at
any level of government, said Pamela Weaver, communications director of the secretary of
state’s office.

But every election ballot includes a space for write-in candidates, whether or not one
is needed for that race. It’s there just in case a write-in does become eligible.

And that’s perhaps where the confusion occurs, since some people see the space and assume
write-ins are allowed in all elections.

Great idea!

Yeah, here we go. Give the seat to the democrat.

Chris lost. He didn’t lose fair and square, we know that, but he lost. Let’s hold our noses and keep the republican in office.

I’m not from MS so it’s not fight, but dammit our goal is to take the Senate. Chris will have his day, but for now let’s draw together and keep it a republican seat.
