5. she will have to call a special election

[leftieNanner]

6. Special election, I think

Don't think he will resign. Shame does not exist in the Republican party.

7. as others have said

House is elected by the people .. so special election

Senate is suppose to represent the state
so the governor appoints them.

8. They have to call a special election; the governor can't appoint congress members -

only Senators.

10. Republicans will rally around Santos.

He represents the ultimate evolution of the way Republicans think and want to do business, after all.

Santos didn't get to where he is without help.

[kentuck]

12. I doubt that he will resign...

...unless criminal charges are filed.
