OK everyone. I'm going to say something wildly unpopular here. IF he resigns it's obliviously so the RATS can keep the Senate. This is strategy. There is no more to it than that. Each side makes it's decisions based on what is most beneficial for it's own. If there were a race where we could do the same thing then we'd do it to, it's legal so why not? Focus on winning other races, keeping the senate is still doable.

No, we DON'T do it! That is why Ashcroft is Attorney General instead of Senator from Missouri, that is why Mary Landrieu is the Senator from Louisiana, and that is why WE have never gained a majority by getting a senator to defect!

Go away.
