I certainly voted that way. I'd rather the old Dem guard retire, but until they do, anyone is better than a known bad guy.

And just a bit of history, sometimes voters would rather elect a dead man than a live one. Look into former Governor Mel Carnahan who was elected to Missouri senate, three weeks after he died in a plane crash. Also, Democrat Anthony "Tony" DeLuca died Oct. 9, 2022 a month before winning his seat.
