"Just on ABC news (radio) the Torch will serve out the rest of his term, no resignation."

'COURSE not. I'd be surprised if he did resign...thus splitting the Senate down the middle, thus making life a little tough for the Democratic Obstruction Machine in the Senate.

Torch's resignation would not split the Senate down the middle. It would be 50-49 (Jeffords voting with the Dems for organization,) until such time as the replacement appointed by McGreedy took his seat.

No, if he does resign there would be a Dem appointed to replace him, the Senate remains status quo.
