How does this work now? Does the Governor just appoint someone, or will there be a special election? Or a name as a write in on the ballot or what? What are the chances that a Rat might pick up this seat? Uuuggh!

From what the freepers who have been looking into this reported it is too late for Foley's name to be withdrawn from the ballot but the republicans can have a candidate who will take any votes casted for Foley. We are doomed now in Foley's district because no-one in their right mind will cast a vote under the perv's name.
