Reply #35: Ah some of that comes back to me now...

I now remember reading some of what you have mentioned, especially the part about absentee ballots. I find it strange though, that Coleman should be allowed to keep his seat for an entire six year term, while Carnahan's widow had that special election two years after...Now I'm assuming that Coleman doesn't face a special election next year right?

Either way, Wellstone's presence in the senate is sorely missed, and I remember I was quite upset over his death.

I'm definetely not a conspiracy theorist, but considering if Wellstone had died a day later, his name would have remained on the ballot, it does seem very fishy...That and given the way this administration acts (the Valerie Plame leak confirms my belief that this admin. will do anything to keep power), really is very scary. Just goes to show how important next year's election (I hope it will resemble that at least) really is.
