State laws cover the scheduling of special elections - obviously it saves money to schedule during a regular cycle. So although Kennedy's MA seat was open for a shorter time than the others, they held the special election last winter. Once the results are certified, I believe the winner always takes the seat at that time, as Scott Brown did. In WV some maneuvering was required to avoid leaving the temp appointee in place for years.
I don't think they usually hold special elections for the House, since the terms are only 2 years. I'm not even sure if there is a temp appointee - was there one for Murtha?
Gov. Manchin already appointed his replacement and now is running behind in his bid for that senate seat. I saw a CNN news video where they were interviewing people from WVA and all were saying they love him as the Governor but don't want him as their Senator.
I believe it would be IL (Obama) DE (Biden) NY (Clinton) and WV (Byrd)
Thank you everyone who replied.
If the above seats do indeed get filled immediately after the election, since the empty seats were held by Democrats, there's a chance (I didn't say a good chance, BTW) that they would be filled by Dems, correct? Again, I apologize for my lack of knowledge.
(That is assuming Americans will not vote for Repubs in droves...which statistics show will be the outcome.)
I realize the question can be answered only with conjecture, but informed conjecture can be taken with much more than a grain of salt.
What is ironic about this thread.... corporate welfare dwarfs social welfare, and most of those jobs went overseas during the shrub 8 year 14 trillion dollar debacle.

Quote:
Clinton inherited a $290 billion deficit from George H.W. Bush. He reversed Bush's and Reagan's trickle down economic policies, raising taxes on the wealthy, and reducing them on the working and middle classes. He was able to reduce the deficit every single year of his presidency. By 1997, the government was running budgetary surpluses, the first since 1969. He delivered a $230 billion surplus in 2000.
Bush reversed Clinton's policies, lowering taxes on the very wealthy - his "base" as he called them - and effectively raising them on everyone else. In his first full year at the helm of the economy, he delivered a $157 billion deficit, and he never looked back. By 2004, the deficits were topping $400 billion a year. While Clinton delivered surpluses, Bush's deficits totaled some $3.7 trillion over his eight-year term. Clinton 6: Bush 0.
There is no subtlety, no ambiguity about the data or the economic performance they reveal. By every single measure, Bush's policies and tenure were worse - much worse - for the American economy and the American people than those pursued by Bill Clinton. And we are still living today in the aftermath of the destruction they have wrought.
We could add any number of other measures as well, measures not offered up by Forbes but which are still straightforward indices of economic performance. Clinton reduced poverty, from 15.1% when he took office to 11.3% when he left. Bush increased it, from 11.3% when he started to 12.5% at the end of 2008.
The stock market more than tripled under Clinton's tenure. The Dow went from 3,241 when he took office to 10,587 on the day he left. It actually declined under Bush's tenure, from 10,587 on the day he took office to 8,281 on the day he left. Between the recent stock market collapse and the housing crash, Bush destroyed more than $14 trillion in consumer wealth, a staggering, almost incomprehensible legacy of devastation that will haunt Americans for decades to come.

At this point polls have NY & DE safe dem; IL & WV tossups...

Funny - you claim this is a quote from Forbes magazine, but when I search on the first sentence all I find is this blog post at a no-name site :
