You're right. I've often thought a none of the above option really should be included. If that get the most votes, the incumbent sticks around for another 6-9 months while we vote again.
Originally Posted By Dabob2 I didn't know Dodd had announced, and he's from a neighboring state, so that tells you how much of a splash he's made. I thought McCain and Frist had officially announced, but I guess not. I know there have been some straw polls and the like that people like Frist have GONE to trying to get support, and yet I guess he hasn't made it "official" yet.
