I don't give a damn who died and or if he felt like he was half-dead himself. Run, win, and then resign.

What happens if Bredesen wins the Governors race? Then we have a Dem Senator.

Stuck with a hypothetical RAT senator only until a special election would be held in 2004, with GWB running for re-election at the top of the ticket. And we would know where we stood with the rest of the balance of the Senate to determine if Thompson could safely withdraw.

This decision is terrible and selfish for the GOP nationwide.
