The Vultures are Circling

Democratic hold on the US Senate is a bit vulnerable at the moment with the Senator from South Dakota critically ill. Shamefully, the Republican vultures are circling over the Senate in anticipation of stealing yet another election! Here's the gist: If Senator Johnson from SD dies, then the Republican governer of SD gets to hand-pick a replacement, likely a Republican. That would move the Senate to a 50:50 split, and leave the tying vote in the hand of our favorite VP, Cheney. So, in essence, back to Republican control. This shows how the political system needs a major overhaul to remove the inconsistencies across states. Why should it be possible for a governer of any State to change the entire balance of the Senate, consequently affecting the future of the country's direction? Doesn't make much sense to me, but at this time the conservative bloggers are seeing a faint light in the tunnel and they are having a hard time containing the glee! What a pathetic state of human affairs, where power becomes more important than life.
