I had to brush up and check - the governor's a Dim, so I assume he'll get to appoint his replacement when the old coot croaks in the Senate Chamber.
How will they know when he has croaked? When he stops making a d*mn fool of himself.

He's a good Dim. Cutting taxes among other things. Local Dems in this area tend to be more conservative. It would be good if he appointed himself (can you do that?).

And this:
Governor: Please vote for Joe Manchin. Manchin has a 100% pro-life voting record and a 22 year public record of standing up for the rights of unborn children.
