	<description>The repository of one hard-boiled egg from the south suburbs of Milwaukee, Wisconsin (and the occassional guest-blogger).  The ramblings within may or may not offend, shock and awe you, but they are what I (or my guest-bloggers) think.</description>

While The Swimmer and Sheets are hospitalized more often than they are not, not only are there enough &quot;R&quot;s ready, willing and able to abandon what passes for Senate Republican leadership to help out the Ds, but because the Ds control when bills come up, they&#039;re able to bring up the very few items that don&#039;t have at least 2 &quot;R&quot; turncoats when the two elder Senators are out of the hospital.

Besides, something tells me that Kennedy and Byrd will be retiring pretty soon.  Regarding Kennedy, the election to fill that potential vacant seat through the end of the term (through the 2012 election) would happen sometime between 145 days and 160 days after his letter of resignation is filed (and sometime after it actually takes effect).  Regarding Byrd, that seat would be filled by appointment (by the Democratic governor) until the next election cycle (2010), with the person elected filling the remaining 2 years.]]></description>
