Resigning her Senate seat will leave her rival with the plum task of hand-picking her successor.
It will be interesting to see whom the Gov. picks to act as temporary Senator until the election on May, 8, 2010. Since he’s going to be in a primary challenge against KBH on Mar. 2, 2010 I really don’t think he’ll want to tick anyone off with his pick. So it just maybe that he’ll choose a non threatening temporary office holder that won’t run for election and not hack anyone off.
The May election not only will be the election for governor whomever gets the nominations but it will also be a jungle race for the remainder of the senate term in which all candidates will be on the ballot, democrats, republicans and indpendents if any. A majority is needed to win, if not then a runoff is held.
Yessiree!
Gonna be interesting to see who he picks alrighty.
And KBH butting heads with Perry?? Looks like she
is the one goin’ outta the Politics business, imho. :)
