It is not the first time that has happened, won't be the last either.

At least we made the guy that lost to him attorney general. I'm sure it has happened even more in state races. I think there was one in Michigan a few years back.

I'm surprised they didn't make the losing party the Senator...that's got to be a blow to ego too, losing to a dead opponent

A friend at work mentioned this, not the election results though. He only said an incumbent had died shortly before the election. I joked about how bad her opponent would feel if she was reelected, but I didn't actually expect it to happen.
Wow.

Try being informed instead of just opinionated. How long before you admit that Obama was a mistake?

"I'd vote for a dead Democrat vs. a live Republican any day."
Probably sums up most of the voters' feelings. I bet if it had been the other way around and the GOP candidate had died and not been replaced, you would be crying liberal conspiracy at the top of your lungs.

BrillianTr!
Now that state gets to pay $2,000,000 for a new election! Those dems are so smart!
Almost as smart as the 361,912 people that voted for Alvin Greene in SC...

A complete waste of money for sure, but I can see why they did it. Obviously, they feel that being able to have a choice in who represents them is worth $2,000,000.

At least we didn't send John Edwards to the senate.

Wow... Look at the AP and CBS putting out a racist picture of Obama, because clearly only whites vote GOP and blacks vote democrat...
Unbelievable!

gotta love democrat voters. | Most voters probably didn't know she was dead. Much like Republicans, they simply voted along party lines. So, because the Democratic candidate was dead, and a replacement had not been chosen, what would you have them do? Vote Republican? This way, they forced a special election where I am sure they will have a representative from the Democrat party. Actually pretty smart of them rather than cede the seat wouldn't you say?
And they didn't really have to mention that she was a Dem, since her opponent was a Republican. It's sort of implied.

Hell, I'd vote for a dead person just for the lulz if they were on the ballot.

No... a blow to the ego would be the fact that the people who voted for her were to dumb to actually care about who they elect.
Seriously, who elects zombies? That's just asking for free lobotomies.
