The Demo cannot “appoint” a new senator. Evan Bayh is finishing out his term and then a new senator will take his place after the regular midterm election in November.

I know that. I was replying to a poster wondering if Repubs should help a little known candidate that is running for the Indiana Senate seat and was still looking for signatures (which are due tomorrow). If the dem's don't have anyone running in their primary then they can select a dem candidate by the end of June to run on the general election ballot in Nov.
