Here's how it's going to go (just a hunch, but it sounds like something the Rats would - and will - do):

NOBODY will replace Wellstone on the ballot for the Rats. The Rats can claim it's too late (as far as the absentee ballots), but the real reason is that no LIVING Rat candidate will be able to pull as many sympathy votes as the dead guy (Carnahan redux).

As is well known, Massive Democratic Vote Fraud ® is well underway in Minnesota, with the National Socialists (Nazis) invading the state to "get out the [fraud] vote" using that dirty same-day registration trick.

Coleman will lose to the corpse on Election Day, and Massive Democratic Vote Fraud ® will ensure the victory of Roger Moe, the Rat candidate for Governor. This is important because the new Governor will be the one to appoint Wellstone's replacement. Whoever Ventura sends to Washington now is irrelelvant as far as that goes, since that person would only serve for 2 months.

The corpse can't run. The election code is clear about that. The Democrats can't take the chance that the law would be enforced, so they HAVE to name someone, and Wellstone's name will have a magic marker drawn through it on the ballots.

In fact, the entire slate of Senate candidates will be printed on a supplemental ballot.

With elections now made to fit the predetermined results, the Demoncats can now replace Paul Welfare and the Laut with the Whore of Babylon and the Antichrist - completely removing the voter from the process - as they do in Iraq, Cuba and the former Soviet Union.

We are achieving the Demoncat dream - unelected officials appointed over the sheeple by the power brokers at the top.

The only tears I am shedding is for the loss of a fine Beech Air King 100. Paul Welfare was an vociferous anti american hate filled marxist.

What are you smoking? Nazis "getting out the vote" for a liberal Democrat Jew?

Minnessotta law states that a deceased individual cannot be on the ballot however they will replace him and there will be a huge sympathy vote for the Rats

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Within the next seven days, the Minnesota Democratic Party must name the person whose name will appear on the ballot instead of Wellstone’s. State law requires that new special ballots be printed and that the candidates’ names on the regular ballot be blotted out.
Minnesota Attorney General Mike Hatch, a Democrat, told reporters Friday that Wellstone’s name “will not be on the general election ballot” since it will be blotted out. “It is to the advantage of the Democratic Party, or for any political party in this circumstance, to nominate (a replacement) as soon as possible,” Hatch said, adding that next Thursday would be the last day the party could pick a new candidate and still be able to get his or her name on absentee ballots that will be mailed to voters who can’t get to the polls.
Hatch also said if the Minnesota Democratic Party simply does nothing, Wellstone still cannot be elected posthumously. According to Republican campaign election lawyer Craig Engle, the Democrats could not place Wellstone’s name on the new ballot because he is dead and thus ineligible to hold office.

You are anticipating a huge write in campaign? The Dems must name a replacement.

If I double posted, apologies. It didn't show up the first time. Weird.

[Mr. Creosote]

The Dems have to name a replacement.

It won't work.. MN does not have a rat governor. Last time the Rat governor promised to name the wife to replace dead guy. If Wellstone won, then Ventura would name someone from his party to fill the spot..but not a rat.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

The Dems must choose a replacement.

Just bounced over to the democraticunderground, and those sorry puppies are thinking that it is the Freepers that are killing the democrats,,, lol ,,, What a wonderful world it could be...

Wellstone died, he died a horrible death, and then the intrigue will begin on the political side. But the conspicicy theories are way too rampant. IMHO

Now all we need to do is have Jesse correct seat that the Georgia governor gave to the democrats when Coverdale died... Then Carnahan loses, we have 2 seats so Chaffee is nuetralized, and we can get ourselves some judges confirmed...

.later.

Actually another corpse will probably be selected as the Demmycrat replacement---Fritz Mondull. And that means all absentee ballots already cast with Wellstone's name on it can't count for Mondull. Also it is logistically impossible for the replacement absentee ballots from being sent out and returned on time.
