We can make NO assumptions about who we THINK people would vote for.

We know they voted for a Dem for this particular office. That's not an assumption.

We know they voted for a Dem for this particular office. That's not an assumption.

And unless they have a fresh clone of Lautenberg, it makes no difference. On that basis you could put in a Zell Miller or George Wallace of Glenn Poshard Dem, and that would be okay, even though Chrostine Todd-Whitman has more in common with Lautenberg.

I voted for Dem Lieberman over Lowell Weicker in CT. If Lieberman died, I sure wouldn't want another Dem to take his place. Legally, morally, party is irrelevant.
