In reply to the discussion: Franken successor to be announced Wednesday [View all]onenote
(42,694 posts)16. Care to make a wager on that?
You donate $5 to DU if there is an attempt not to seat Franken's successor.
I'll donate $25 if there is an attempt and $50 if it succeeds.
I really should offer thousands, since it's a totally safe bet on my part, given what the Constitution and the courts have to say on the subject.

Not sure that once Franken's replacement is named, Mitch'll allow F's vote to count.

This is so wrong. So sad. I read it'll be his assistant. Whoever it is, it'll be a woman. nt
