How convenient... for the Democrats. I would certainly not hesistate to introduce legislation that if a statewide incumbent resigns before the 2-year mark in their term that a special election should be called to fill the remainder (probably also barring an interim appointee from running for the office as well). It's not right that the appointee will be serving longer than the person elected to the office.
"Well he's still the Securities Commissioner, though I don't know how he can be liberal with the state's money in a position like that. Before that he was the Geary County DA and he also came close to beating Kline in the 2002 AG election. I think that's one of the reasons why his name is being floated."
No wonder you're so excited about him. He smells like another Gilligan-Sebelius rodent hack.
Of course you wouldn't. But what good would that do now?

Every day in every way you demonstrate your ignorance about politics outside of whatever jerk-water Tennessee hamlet you infest. I report what I heard and of course you would assume that I'm excited about him. For all you know Biggs is pro-life. That'd make him your number one guy. Unlike Phill, Biggs is an experienced prosecutor and trial lawyer. He had an excellent track record in Geary and regardless of politics I think he'd make a good AG. And assuming that he isn't diddling his administrative aides, too, that'd make a refreshing change from our last two.
And in order for you to accomplish that it would take a 2/3rds vote in both houses of the legislature and the approval of a majority of the voters. That pesky constitution gets in the way of all your plans, doesn't it?
