I think if they do not seat him right away they will see a backlash like never before.

All eyes are on them and they know it.

If he wins they are already preparing the current bill to hit the Presidunces desk and shove it down our throats anyway.

America had better wake up and see what kind of rats these dems are to sell out the majority's wishes.

I think there's a little difference between this special election and the one in 1962. For instance, it isn't President Obama's little brother campaigning for the President's vacated seat. That might have had a little to do with the promptness of Ted Kennedy's swearing-in.

ACORN really hasn't had time to pull any funny business. For one thing, it is past the deadline for absentee ballots, and the Dem's have assumed all along they are going to win, so they have not planned any recourse. Of course, we may see Black Panthers in front of the polling stations...and Al Franken demanding a recount.

How about you try and be a little less slanted and disingenuous and instead set up a meaningful poll?

Of course an excuse for a Dem. seat...when Kennedy died his public seat was filled very soon!

I don't know what the outcome will be, hoping he does win, to send a clear message. Since when have they cared about what we think now, giving them too much credit. There not only rats, there DIRTY RATS.

How about you admit that your opinion is just that and not a forgone conclusion?
