Thanks.
So... if I understand this correctly, if Lott resigns this year (as he has said he will do), then the election to replace him will be held within 100 days of his resignation, and the appointee would serve until then?
But if he were to leave office early next year, the election to replace him would be November 2008 general election, and the appointee would serve longer?
That’s the way I read it, since he wants to be out by the end of the year to avoid the new lobbying restrictions I guess they’ll have to have a special election around Feb., if he waits until 2008 Barbour can appoint a replacement and hold the election in Nov
” if he were to leave office early next year, the election to replace him would be November 2008 general election”
Here’s an interesting twist....
Sen Vacant Lott was interviewed on Supertalk MS Radio this morning. What he said in the interview was that he would serve “until the end of the current session.” If Dingy and the dimwits decide to pull the same stunt thru Christmas as they did thru the Thanksgiving break, then the session will not end until after the first of the year. That could actually ruin Lott’s lobbying plans and the dimwit plans to force a spring election.
