Stupid goddamn southern Republicans

Strom had approached the Gov about “retiring” soon, and requested that his estranged wife be appointed in his place

This is being played by many in the state as evidence that Strom is so far gone mentally that he actually thought he would be able to pick his successor. Also, his wife has been getting a lot of bad press, as someone who has had a drinking problem, and who is now overreaching her power a bit–it has been reported that she has attempted to use Strom’s letterhead/signature to get a Bush-administration appointment for her “social companion.” So she is certainly not being viewed in the best light right now.

If the Gov is smart (and wants to keep his job), that’s what I would advise him to do.

Many people in the state, including a lot of Democrats, don’t think that Hodges can be re-elected no matter what he does or doesn’t do.

this is a bad law, based on too-narrow and too-obvious partisan considerations rather than a principle of democracy.

So are you suggesting that the current situation, where the decision is up to a single person, is the epitome of democracy and fairness? **

'Course not - this is partisan politics either way. But replacing one version of it with another is not an improvement, either. All that does is discredit politics entirely.
