So, what does this mean? Does Wellstone stay on the ballot, virtually guaranteeing a win for his Republican challenger? Does that mean that the Republicans take the Senate? Is the Governor of Wellstone's state a Republican? If so, does that mean that he can appoint the Republican candidate to the seat now?

[wallcrawlr]

It means he died.
I wouldnt call it a guarantee.
Possibly
No...have you ever heard of Jesse Ventura?
Ah, no. Never heard of that one. Take a poli sci class or two then come back.

Jesse "the body" Ventura is the Gov. He can appoint whomever he chooses to fill out the unexpired term. The Dems can place any name they deem fit on the ballot. IMHO Jesse is the biggest power broker on two feet right now.

No, they already announced soon after his death that his name would be removed from the ballot. Jessie Ventura can appoint a replacement.

The comment about his opponent conceding was not so far out of line. The sympathy vote for whoever ends up on the ballot could elect a democrat.

"What Good Am I?!!"
(To be sung to Bob Dylan's "What Good Am I")

What good am I...if I'm like all the rest?
If I just turn away...when Slick's slaughterin' kids...
If I shut myself off...sit 'n' bitch, moan, and whine...
What...good...am...I?!

Why, tell me why...won't the Press tell the Truth?
'Bout Slick's deal with Beijing...'bout the Dead Slick's thugs shoot?
Should I just drink my beer...forget Slick's TREASON and his LIES?!
Whose...FOOL...am...I?!

What good am I...if I fail to FReep?!
Should I lay down in bed...try to restlessly sleep?
When I've seen Waco pictures...children carelessly FRIED...
What...good...am...I?!

Do I tell my kids...that Dad failed the FRee?!
FOLKS, WE MUST MAKE OUR STAND...LET'S DETHRONE WILLIE!!!
Prosecute all his crimes...let's send Slick to Prison!!
Soon, Slick'll RESIGN...or WE'LL RE-IMPEACH!!!

What good am I...if I bless foolish things?
If I cower in the face of...Vile Tyranny?!
Shall I just turn my back...while our Liberties die?!
I...would...rather...die!!
