He needs to stay in office until at least November. Obama will of course win Illinois and we don’t need him carrying another Democrat into the Senate.

when they become that ill, no matter if Democrat or Republican or even independent, they should have the common courstey to retire with dignity...

and that goes for the Johnson out in Nebraska who works less than half a deck...

JMHO

We need him to stay in office regardless even if he can never return (which he will). The election-stealing Governor is a democrat and I expect a narrow Republican majority in the next Senate. Better an “empty seat” than having it filled with a Stalinist.

Little known fact, Robert Byrd was dead for a year before anyone noticed.
