I curious as to the ramifications of his death. Will the Democrats try and
elect another dead man? Since Wellstone's wife died in the crash as well, you
can't have her serve as happened in the extremely bizarre election of the dead
senator Mel Carnahan of Missouri.
Though I think many of our senators are functionally brain dead (see: Byrd),
it's wrong to elect one who is *actually* dead.
