When is she up for re-election to the U.S.Senate?
The seat comes up in 2012. However she has said that she would resign but has used different time frames as to when that will occur. So who knows if she will or she won’t. The lastest is that she will hang on to fight health care, etc. and maybe resign by the end of the year.
If she resigns early enough there is a ‘uniform election date’ on Nov.2, in which the special election could be held to select the replacement for the remainder of the term. Perry will have the opportunity to make a temp appt to hold the job until the special election can be held.
Thanks for the very good update.
