The winner of this election won't be seated until January.
Jesse should/can appoint someone to serve until then.

Maybe you shouldn't be so quick to think others are missing the point eh?

I think Jesse will do nothing before the election. After the election, we'll just have to see.

My guess would be that Jesse appoints Mondale until January. The DFL chooses Skip Humphrey to run against Coleman.
