From NBC's Lisa Daniels\nPennsylvania's Republican Party says it has filed an official complaint with the state government, alleging failures in voting machines. One aide to Republican Sen. Rick Santorum just told me they believe "hundreds" of votes are affected by these machine malfunctions.\n\nThe complaint claims that votes for Santorum were not counted - that they were either met with a "malfunction" signal or incorrectly cast as votes for Democratic challenger Bob Casey. Santorum's aides say they are waiting for an official response from the state.\n\nThe response from Casey's campaign? The Democrats say there is no evidence of voting problems, aside from one or two isolated incidents unrelated to Santorum's claims. One said privately that the complaints were "an early attempt to explain away a Casey victory."\n\nMeanwhile, the Santorum camp contends that the most commonly cited polls, showing Casey with a double-digit lead over Santorum, are inaccurate. "Get ready for his grassroots campaign to kick in ... and we will win," one campaign official said. \n\nCasey's folks say they are very happy with the voter turnout, especially in the Philly suburbs. Stay tuned...

Well, here in Kentucky, John Yarmuth, a democrat, won against the opposing congresswoman, Ann Northup. I'm very happy about that. He wants to change the government with approving gay marriage, legalizing pot, and lowering the drinking age to 18. I'm gettin' lucky in Kentucky!!!

Senators serve six-year terms. John Kerry's last re-election to the Senate was in 2002, so he was still in mid-term when he ran for President 2 years ago. Yes, he's still in the Senate. Most Senators who ran for President, while in the middle of their term, and lost remained in the Senate.\n\nBut Kerry's running mate, John Edwards of North Carolina, was a Senator who had been elected in 1998, so his 6-year term was ending when he ran for the ticket in 2004. Per the law of North Carolina, he could not run for re-election to the Senate while also simultaneously running on the national ticket. So Edwards is no longer in the Senate.\n\nThe law is not the same in all states. A couple of states in which a candidate can both run on the Presidential ticket and run for U.S. Senate in the very same election are Connecticut and Texas. Six years ago, Joe Lieberman ran for re-election to the Senate at the same time he was Al Gore's running-mate. Obviously, Lieberman won re-election to the Senate, but did not win the national election. In the past, two Senators who represented Texas ran both for re-election to the Senate and also were running-mates on the national ticket at the same time: Lyndon B. Johnson in 1960 and Lloyd Bentsen in 1988.\n\nBy mentioning Johnson, I can now segue into another one of your questions. When Johnson was re-elected to the Senate and elected Vice President at the same time in 1960, he obviously had to resign from the Senate before he was sworn in as Veep. That meant his seat was then vacant.\n\nAnytime vacancies occur in a seat for the U.S. Senate, how the vacancy gets filled depends on the law of the state. There is no national law directing the subject. In most states, the Governor has the power to appoint a new Senator to fill the vacancy. And if the vacancy occurred with only 2 years left in the term or less, then that appointee will serve the remainder of that term. Oftentimes, the vacancy occurs with more than 2 years left, in which case the state will schedule a special election so that the voters can determine who will serve the remainder of the term.\n\nHowever, in some states the Governor does not have the power to appoint anyone to fill a vacancy. In those states the seat will simply remain vacant until a special election is held. Oklahoma and Oregon are two examples of that. In 1995, Republican Senator Bob Packwood resigned in mid-term with 3 1/2 years left of his term. His seat remained vacant for a few months while the legislature authorized a special election to be held. When Ron Wyden won that special election, he then held the seat for the remaining 3 years of the term originally begun by Packwood.

No.  We elected Arnold Schwarzenegger to a regular term.  I say this because he won a special re-call election two years ago. \n\nHe beat his opponent, State Treasurer, Phill Angelides by about 16 points.

It's called an election, not a "second chance".  The voters decided.  He received more votes than any other before him.\n\nKerry?  You're kidding! Show me in his 20+ years as a senator what he has accomplished. He, just like Clinton governs by opinion polls, Bush sticks to his convictions regarding what needs to be done regardless of popular opinion.  That is what makes a leader.\n\nRemember, Clinton had a chance to get Bin Laden but was too busy GOLFING (read "Dereliction Of Duty").  The result, 09/11/01.  Now Bush has to clean up the mess.

Now that he is on the ballot, things are looking good for him.\n\nThe Republican vote is going to be split between Perry seeking reelection and Strayhorn running as a Republican-turned-independent, the Republican vote will be split.\n\nThe State of Texas is predominantly conservative, so liberals such as Democrats and Libertarians (sp) don't have much of a chance. \n\nWith the right-wing vote being split, and liberals not getting much as far as votes, that leaves the door wide open for Kinky to come out of this as a winner. People are tired and weary of 'business as ususal' in Texas politics and he stands a real chance. Kinky helped run the campaign to elect Jesse Ventura in Minnesota, so he has experience running for office in a sense.\n\nI signed the petition to have him on the ballot. I feel that he would be far more beneficial to the state than another conservative or a left wing liberal.\n\nYes, Kinky has a chance. Vote for him. Why the hell not?

Yes. As they all said "It is what it is".  I was hoping the final two would be Lee Ann and Harold.  Disappointed about Lee Ann , but I'm very happy Harold won.

Isn't he still Governor and didn't he also get reelected?  You speak in a past tense.
