re: #48 goddamnedfrank

One thing that retards like Levin and Villere haven’t considered is that according to Kentucky State Law all vacancies to the US Senate are filled according to nomination by the Governor. In McConnell’s case that means his replacement would be named by Steve Beshear, a Democrat. There’s also no requirement in Kentucky for the replacement to be from the same party as the outgoing Senator. Finally, it’s not realistic at all to expect Mitch to resign and then suffer the humiliation of sticking around just to serve the same faction that organized his ouster.

I think they imagine a ray of light will come from heaven, and from the dazzling glare, The Anointed One will emerge, ready to be the Tea Party replacement for McConnell.
