Okay, on the very long shot that he does resign after the R's retain the Congress, does Pataki have to appoint a replacement from the Democrats, or can Pataki appoint anybody from any party to the seat?

Rangel is a Congressman, and therrefore there would be a special election. Only Senators are appointed by the governor if they resign or die in office.

All representatives are elected, if the seat is vacant a special election is called.

Not once in our nation's history has an unelected representative sat in the House.

In a related matter, Rangel said:

"With oil prices being at an all time high, I've decided to cash in and sell the oil reserves I've been storing in my hair."
