I watched the tribute to Strom by the Senators just this morning. Perhaps it was too much for the 99 year old..Don't think he really EVER wanted to retire.

Reminds me of the old joke...no one wants to live to be 100...unless they are 99 :~)

Haven't seen this elsewhere. SC's Dem governor could appoint Sanders, the Dem candidate running against Graham, if Strom is incapacitated. Not sure how this would affect the Iraq vote. I assume that Sanders must be pretty moderate to run in SC.
