The silver lining to this campaign is that there is an excellent possibility that Kerry will resign to campaign and be absent from the Senate forever.

"Kerry will resign to campaign"

Not on your life. They are so chicken .. they will keep their senate seat JUST IN CASE THEY DON'T WIN .. they will have something to fall back on.

The real issue is this .. most states allow people to campaign for a new position, without having to give up their old one (such as Lieberman did in Connecticut when he ran for VP). Some states do not allow this. One of those states is South Dakota (and this law change came about as the result of a Republican Governor being elected) .. which tells you why Daschle did not run for President.
