Discussion: Kasich Sets Special Elections To Fill Boehner Vacancy

Discussion for article #242396

Well ain’t that special…

Note that holding a special election is a costly endeavor … except to the party of fiscal responsibility.

Thanks, Boner.

Wait, THAT’S how you pronounce Boehner and Kasich? I know it’s a wire service rehash, guys, but c’mon… we’re politics nerds, at least take the phonetics out.

June 7 ?? That is 7 months from now, why not before ?

Silly question! The political consultants and professional campaign staff, who will have nothing to do with governing, have to have a period long enough to justify their out-sized salaries.
