Oh don't worry, everything's still cynical as gently caress. The only reason why this is happening is because the Governor is the weirdo Minnesota version of Democrat, the Governor can appoint a replacement immediately, and Democrats don't lose the seat in the meantime.

Yea I figured that they discussed the calculus in either moving Franken past this against the accountability of their base or what options they had in replacing his seat.

Replaced by appointment and not by special election? Seems unfair to the constituents.

9D chess thought, and I apologize in advance cause I know how annoying they can be, but what if Franken making an announcement tomorrow rather than today is calculated because the Senate Dems know the news cycle is going to drown that out due to what's incoming (more indictments?) towards Manafort and possibly Gates tomorrow morning?

I thought the Cold War 2 would be awesome, but its really starting to piss me off.

The only Georgians I worked with served green beans and boiled eggs for breakfast three weeks in a row, while stealing the other poo poo that came in the rations kits, dropped their radios so often that the local Taliban picked up one and turned it into an IED, and showered without using soap and while wearing underwear.

Basically this dude sounds great compared to that poo poo.

Replaced by appointment and not by special election? Seems unfair to the constituents.

From WaPo:


quote:

Should Franken resign, the process to replace him goes like this:

Since it’s more than six weeks before the primary for that Senate seat, the governor of the state will appoint someone to fill the vacancy.

Franken’s not up for reelection until 2020, so there would be an election in 2018 to find someone to fill out the rest of his term.

In 2020, the winner of that election would stand for reelection, if he or she chose to.

The governor of Minnesota is Mark Dayton, who served in the Senate from 2001 to 2007. He’s a staunch Democrat and would presumably appoint a Democrat to fill Franken’s seat.

The outcome of a 2018 special election isn’t entirely certain, but, unlike neighboring states, Democrats in Minnesota weathered the Trump surge last year to hand its electoral votes to Hillary Clinton by a narrow margin. Sen. Amy Klobuchar, Franken’s peer, is also on the ballot; her seat is rated by the Cook Political Report as “solid Democratic.” An off-year election might normally be disadvantageous to the Democrats, but 2018 is shaping up to be a strong year for the party nationally because of the deep unpopularity of the president
