| 81. Perhaps one should think of her as an "Interim" Senator. |
|
If she can't win public enthusiasm within 2 years, she'll lose the seat.
I guess that's a big reason to accept whomever gets the slot. It doesn't mean she gets to KEEP it.
Senators can get booted, no matter what their names are. See, for example, Libby Dole.
