I would expect a lawsuit if he wins but I don't understand the legalities of these things. It's outragous in any case. DAK

LOL, he was way behind before he died, too. It is great joke material. This is not the first time a dead guy has been on the ballot, BTW. Nor the first time a widow has stepped in and taken over the seat.

Hehehe. That's something! I heard the UK has something called a "Certificate of existence in life" Supposedly this serves dead men not getting their pension. I'd like to get one of those! -ggg-

hb - it's an old trick. some dead men are even candidates. one state has a candidate on the ballot for the senate race who died two weeks ago - and he's in the lead in the polls if you can believe that. I just got back from defacing my Massachusetts ballot. President, US Senate, US Congress, and 5 misc. state offices. The first two had about 6 candidates each, all assumed to be alive, including Libertarians, the Congress slot had a D and an R, and the 5 state offices were all D's running unopposed. As long as they promise to stay buried, I would be overjoyed to support dead candidates. -g- Regards, Don
