I pray he is ok. His health is much more important than a seat. I would rather his health than lose another seat. I might get blasted, but I accept them and actually will be proud to be blasted for this.
Actually, you don't lose the seat. Wyoming has it written into the law that the party keeps the seat. Once a person leaves office, the governor notifies the party. In this case it would be the Republicans. They submit to him 3 names. He gets to choose who of the three to select, but they are all picked by the Republican party. Just heard this on the radio.
