The GOP will remain silent. Johnson will have to be incapacitated for at least a year before the GOP will think they have enough cover to pursue an appointment to replace him.

It is just not in their makeup to be crude & crass and driven for power the way the Dims are.....I wish they were!!

If this same scenario was playing out and the party was REVERSED, the DIMS AND their DBM cohorts would be screaming for the governor to appoint a replacement!! It would be the NUMBER ONE STORY in the nation!!

Excuse me. Do you really support forcing a state to have only half its constitutionally required votes in the US Senate?
